Treatment information for migraine relief Find out which migraine treatment is right for you
If you suffer from migraines, you're not alone. In fact, approximately 28 million Americans suffer from migraines. That's why IMITREX was such an important discovery for so many people. General pain relievers are made for general kinds of pain, like backaches or sore muscles. IMITREX is different. It was specifically designed just for migraines. In fact, it was the first medicine of its kind to target the nerves and blood vessels that are believed to trigger your total migraine—the pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound—without drowsiness.

  IMITREX is a prescription medicine for the acute treatment of migraine attacks, with or without aura, in adults. You should not take IMITREX if you have certain types of heart disease, a history of stroke or TIAs, peripheral vascular disease, Raynaud syndrome, or blood pressure that is uncontrolled. If you have risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or are a smoker, you should be evaluated by your doctor before taking IMITREX. Very rarely, certain people, even some without heart disease, have had serious heart-related problems when taking IMITREX.

If you are currently taking other medications or if you are pregnant, nursing, or thinking about becoming pregnant, you should talk to your doctor before taking IMITREX. If your headaches are not migraines, IMITREX is not for you.
