What is Imitrex?

Imitrex (sumatriptan) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline LLC. Imitrex is classed as a serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptor agonist (triptan) indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Sumatriptan works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain.

Imitrex should only be used only if a clear diagnosis of migraine headache has been established. It is not indicated for the prophylactic therapy of migraine attacks, or for the treatment of cluster headaches.

The maximum dose in a 24-hour period is 200 mg. A maximum single dose should not exceed 50 mg in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
