Explaining to your doctor exactly how your migraines affect your life is the best way to be sure that you'll get the treatment that's right for you. Consider the following discussion points and examples of what you might say when speaking with your physician: Clearly state why you've come in. "My migraines are disrupting my life and my current medicine isn't giving me complete relief." Tell your doctor your exact symptoms. "What I'm taking now doesn't help with my symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. It can make me feel drowsy too." Share how migraines are disrupting your life. "I'm taking multiple pills and I still can't perform my regular activities " or "I still can't get out of bed." Ask for IMITREX by name. "I read that IMITREX targets your total migraine. If you think IMITREX is right for me, I'd like to try it." Click here for the next step in your P.L.A.N. to get the relief you need.

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.
