Scientific Evidence

Clinical trials have shown that sumatriptan is effective in relieving migraine pain and associated symptoms within 2 hours of administration.

Additional Information

It is important to note that Stopmigren (sumatriptan) Coated Tablets are not a preventive treatment for migraines and should only be used to treat acute migraine attacks. If migraines occur frequently, a healthcare provider should be consulted to discuss preventive options.

Pharmacological Effects: Sumatriptan acts on serotonin receptors in the brain, causing vasoconstriction and reducing inflammation associated with migraines. This action helps alleviate pain and other symptoms of migraines.

Comparative Effectiveness: Studies have shown that sumatriptan is as effective as other commonly used migraine medications but may have a faster onset of action, making it a preferred choice for some patients.
