Description

Overview

What it is: Imigran (sumatriptan), a triptan for acute migraine attacks (with or without aura).
How it works: Selective 5‑HT1B/1D agonist that helps reverse migraine mechanisms and eases pain, nausea, and light/sound sensitivity.
Onset: Many people feel relief within ~30 minutes.
Not preventive: Use only when a migraine starts.
Rx status: Prescription‑only medicine (Rx).

Adults with diagnosed migraine who’ve been prescribed sumatriptan.
