IMITREX (SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE): Sumatriptan is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headache, pain, and other migraine symptoms (including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound).

It affects a certain natural substance (serotonin) that causes narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. It may also relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain. Sumatriptan does not prevent future migraines or lessen how often you get migraine attacks. FDA Approval Date: 1996-12-23 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
