Imigran Nasal Spray (10mg & 20mg)

Migraines are thought to be caused by the widening of blood vessels in the brain.

Sumatriptan helps to contract and narrow these blood vessels, returning blood flow to certain areas of the brain back to normal.

Visit our blog post to find out more about how Sumatriptan works.

Sumatriptan is most effective if taken at the onset of a migraine attack. This treatment will still provide some level of relief if taken after an episode has begun. Spray 10-20mg into one nostril. If the medicine is ineffective, wait at least two hours before taking the second dose.

It is safe to use painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, or anti- nausea medicines, such as Prochlorperazine Buccal Tablets.

However, it is important not to use two or more triptan medicines together, such as sumatriptan and almotriptan. All triptans act in the same way, so taking two or more simultaneously will not provide any additional benefit.

Instead, you may exceed the recommended dosage and put yourself at risk of experiencing adverse side-effects.

Imigran Nasal Spray is a prescription-only-medicine (POM). For that reason, and to ensure patient safety, we only supply a maximum of 3 packs of treatment (6 nasal sprays) at one time.

This allows us to strike a balance between offering our patients an adequate supply of medication, whilst providing regular checks on their condition, symptoms, and the effectiveness of their treatment. This model ensures the perfect mix of convenience and patient safety.

If you suffer no adverse side-effects, and if your migraines are well controlled with your chosen treatment, you can log in and re -order another supply with ease.

None of the above should have any affect on Sumatriptan. You may want to avoid alcohol during a migraine as this could possibly make it worse.

Although Sumatriptan is not affected by the contraceptive pill, migraines can be linked to hormonal changes during your period.

Although it helps to relieve migraines, Sumatriptan is not a painkiller. It will help to relieve migraines and therefore the pain that is associated with it, however this is a secondary effect.

Sumatriptan can be used alongside traditional painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen if extra pain relief is necessary whilst the Sumatriptan is taking effect.

Sumatriptan is an extremely effective migraine treatment for many people suffering from mild to severe symptoms.

Some people may find that Imigran Nasal Spray is only mildly effective, or even ineffective. There is nothing to worry about if this is the case. Sumatriptan is not effective for everyone. If you have tried it several times without getting the desired results, you can try a different migraine treatment instead.

Triptan migraine treatments all have the same mechanism-of-action. However, different people respond differently to each one. If one treatment, such as Imigran Nasal Spray, does not have the required effect, it is worth trying a different treatment, to see whether it works better for you.

This will depend on your symptoms and triggers. For example, people who suffer from sensitivity to light should sit or lie in a darkened room. Those who experience issues with sound should go somewhere quiet or use a good pair of earplugs to avoid irritating their symptoms further.

Often people feel better after eating, drinking or taking a nap as well as taking any necessary treatment.

Imigran Nasal Spray is available on the NHS from your GP if you have been diagnosed with migraines. This is normally where we suggest people start their treatment, to ensure that their condition is properly diagnosed and any possible serious symptoms are addressed.

Many people can find it difficult to fit in time to see their GP or hard to get an appointment at all! It can, therefore, be more convenient to order your treatment online and have it delivered to your home or work address with minimum fuss. We also provide complete support to allow you to get any questions answered by our professional team by phone, email or live chat.

Here at The Independent Pharmacy, we take the headache out of getting your migraine treatment.
