What are Imigran tablets used for?
Imigran tablets contain the active ingredient sumatriptan succinate. This medicine belongs to a group of drugs called serotonin agonists. Imigran tablets are used to relieve a migraine attack. They should not be used to prevent migraine attacks from occurring. Imigran tablets may be used for migraine headaches with or without what is known as ‘aura’. It is thought that migraine headache is due to widening of certain blood vessels in the head. Imigran tablets work by making those vessels normal again and ease the symptoms of migraine. Your Imigran tablets do not work in other types of headache which are not a migraine. Imigran tablets are not addictive.
