For migraine sufferers who have difficulty swallowing a tablet due to nausea or vomiting, IMITREX Nasal Spray is preloaded with 1 dose, ready to use anytime, anywhere. Some people have relief of their pain within 15 minutes (12% at 15 minutes, increasing to 64% at 2 hours versus 7% and 38% for placebo) after using a 20-mg dose of IMITREX Nasal Spray; most people get relief within 2 hours. If after 2 hours you have no relief at all, consult your doctor. If you have some relief after 2 hours, or if your migraine comes back, you can take a second dose.

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.
