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. |

Always keep the lines of communication with your doctor open. If migraines are still disrupting your life, let your doctor know. IMITREX is available in different doses and forms to suit your specific needs. Another dosage or form may work even better than what you get the first time. Your doctor can also offer you tips on taking your prescription properly, such as treating your migraine early on in an attack as headache experts recommend.
