Sumatriptan


This sumo wrestler is called Dave. He trips over and gets a headache.

Sumatriptan is a 5HT-1D (Dave) agonist. Used to treat attack of migrane. It induces vasoconstriction on vascular smooth muscle to avoid vasodilation and therefore avoids vessels pressing on nerves (the pain part of migrane).

Sumatriptan is not recommended for other types of headache or for headache prevention.
In most people, sumatriptan eliminates or reduces the symptoms of migraine, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
