IMITREX, a migraine medicine designed to treat migraine pain and symptoms
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, and was the first medicine of its kind to target the nerves and blood vessels believed to trigger your total migraine — the throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound — without drowsiness. IMITREX is a prescription medicine for the acute treatment of migraine attacks in adults. If the headaches you are suffering from are not migraines, IMITREX is not for you.

  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.
