Imitrex

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Imitrex but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Imitrex
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Sumatriptan, an antimigraine drug, is structurally similar to serotonin. It is thought that the cerebral blood vessel constriction induced by activation of 5-HT1 receptors on those vessels may contribute to the antimigrainous effect of sumatriptan in humans. For the treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults

Mechanism Of Action:
Sumatriptan stimulates 5-HT receptors of the 1D subtype, most likely presynaptic receptors, resulting in selective vasoconstriction of inflamed and dilated cranial blood vessels in the carotid circulation. Sumatriptan also blocks the release of vasoactive neuropeptides from perivascular trigeminal axons in the dura mater during migraine and may inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators from the trigeminal nerve.
