It contains sumatriptan, a 5-HT1 receptor agonist that mediates vasoconstriction of the human basilar artery and vasculature of human dura mater, which correlates with the relief of migraine headache. It also contains naproxen, an NSAID that inhibits the synthesis of inflammatory mediators. Therefore, sumatriptan and naproxen contribute to the relief of migraine through pharmacologically different mechanisms of action.
Purpose
Migraine
Ingredients
Naproxen Sodium , Sumatriptan
Warnings
Naproxen, a component of this medicine, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Use of some NSAIDs is associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular adverse events (such as myocardial infarction, stroke or thrombotic events) which can be fatal. The risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.
Caution is advised to be exercised in prescribing NSAIDs such as naproxen sodium, which is a component of this medicine to any patient with ischemic heart disease (including but NOT limited to acute myocardial infarction, history of myocardial infarction and/or angina), cerebrovascular disease (including but NOT limited to stroke, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attacks and/or amaurosis fugax) and/or congestive heart failure (NYHA II-IV) .
Overuse of acute headache treatments is associated with the exacerbation of headache (medication overuse headache, MOH). Medication overuse headache may present as migraine-like daily headaches, or as a marked increase in frequency of migraine attacks. In these cases, discontinuation of medication is advised to be considered.
