ImitrexThis 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) 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.

Because there is a theoretical basis that these effects may be additive, use of ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications (like dihydroergotamine or methysergide) and sumatriptan within 24 hours of each other should be avoided. MAO-A inhibitors reduce sumatriptan clearance, significantly increasing systemic exposure. Therefore, the use of sumatriptan succinate tablets in patients receiving MAO-A inhibitors is contraindicated . Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (e.g., fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline) have been reported, rarely, to cause weakness, hyperreflexia, and incoordination when coadministered with sumatriptan. If concomitant treatment with sumatriptan and an SSRI is clinically warranted, appropriate observation of the patient is advised.
