Effective Prescription Treatment for Migraine Attacks
Sumatriptan is a prescription medication used to relieve migraine attacks, including those with or without aura. It works by narrowing widened blood vessels in the brain, reducing headache pain and associated symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light or sound.
At MediClick Pharmacy, you can order Sumatriptan online with a quick consultation and fast, discreet UK delivery.
How Does Sumatriptan Work?
Sumatriptan is part of a group of medications called triptans. These drugs act on serotonin receptors in the brain to reverse the widening of blood vessels, which is believed to be one of the causes of migraine pain.
Sumatriptan does not prevent migraines, but it can stop a migraine once it starts, relieving symptoms within 30 to 60 minutes of taking a dose.

How to Use Sumatriptan
Sumatriptan is most effective when taken at the first sign of a migraine attack.
