What Is a Migraine?
A migraine is a moderate to severe headache, often on one side of the head, and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual disturbances (aura)
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
Triggers can vary but commonly include stress, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, and dietary factors. Effective treatment can significantly reduce the impact of migraine attacks.
How Do Migraine Treatments Work?
Triptans work by activating serotonin receptors in the brain, which helps to narrow widened blood vessels and block pain signals. They’re most effective when taken at the first sign of a migraine attack and do not prevent future migraines.
Symptoms of Migraine
Migraines are a type of recurring headache that can be moderate to severe in intensity and often interfere with daily activities. They can last from a few hours to several days and may occur with or without warning signs.
Common symptoms include:
- Throbbing or pulsing headache, typically on one side of the head
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Visual disturbances (aura), such as flashing lights or blind spots
- Fatigue or dizziness
- Difficulty concentrating or confusion during or after an attack
Migraine attacks vary from person to person, and triggers can include stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, or lack of sleep. Medications such as Sumatriptan, Zolmitriptan, and Rizatriptan can provide effective relief when taken at the onset of symptoms.
How to Take Migraine Treatments
Migraine treatments such as triptans work by narrowing blood vessels around the brain, helping to relieve headache pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound.
- Take the tablet as soon as possible after the migraine symptoms start — the earlier, the better.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water.
- If your symptoms improve but then return, you may be able to take a second dose — but never within 2 hours of the first tablet and only if advised by your prescriber.
- Do not take more than the maximum daily dose recommended.
- Avoid using triptans before the migraine starts (“pre-emptively”) — they are most effective when taken during an attack.
Common Questions About Migraine

How are migraines treated?
MediClick Pharmacy offers prescription migraine treatments such as:
- Sumatriptan
- Imigran®
- Zolmitriptan
- Rizatriptan
These medicines work by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing inflammation, helping to relieve migraine symptoms when taken at the onset of an attack.
When should I take migraine medication?
You should take migraine medication as soon as symptoms start. Early treatment increases the chances of successfully stopping the migraine or reducing its severity.
Can migraines be prevented?
If migraines are frequent or severe, preventative (prophylactic) treatments may be recommended by a healthcare provider. Lifestyle changes, identifying and avoiding triggers, and maintaining regular sleep and meal patterns can also help reduce the frequency of attacks.

Possible side effects of triptans include:
- Dizziness
- Tiredness
- Flushing or warmth sensation
- Mild pressure or tightness (e.g., in the chest or throat)
Serious side effects are rare. If you experience chest pain, severe dizziness, or allergic reactions, seek medical attention immediately.
