Sumatriptan Tablets

Sumatriptan is a prescription medication that is used to treat migraine symptoms. It eases migraines, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to sound and light. It's a triptan medication with sumatriptan succinate as the active ingredient.

Sumatriptan is used when regular pain relievers don't work for migraines.

You can buy Sumatriptan online once you have completed a short medical assessment. One of our prescribers will assess your answers to ensure the medication suits you. Complete the form, get your prescription, and buy Sumatriptan online.

Migraine headaches occur when blood vessels around the brain swell. Sumatriptan reduces blood vessel swelling to relieve migraine headaches. Sumatriptan begins to work in 30 minutes. You should take it when a migraine starts. To learn about dosages, talk to your GP or one of our pharmacists.

Sumatriptan comes in either a 50mg or 100mg tablet and should be taken at the onset of a migraine. If the migraine comes back after 2 hours, you can take another tablet. Just make sure you don't take more than 300mg in 24 hours.
