1. What MIGTAN is and what it is used for

MIGTAN belongs to a group of medicines called triptans, which are used to treat migraine headaches.
The symptoms of migraine can be caused by temporary widening of blood vessels in the head.
The medicine reduces the widening of blood vessels. This helps to relieve the headache and other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as feeling sick (nausea or vomiting) and being sensitive to light and sound.
The medicine only works after a migraine attack has started. It will not prevent a migraine attack from happening.
Do not use sumatriptan to prevent migraine attacks.

2. Important information before taking MIGTAN

When not to take MIGTAN:

Warnings and precautions

Before taking MIGTAN, discuss it with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
Before taking MIGTAN, tell your doctor if:

This medicine should only be used in patients with a clear diagnosis of migraine and after other causes have been ruled out. Some types of migraine cannot be treated with sumatriptan.
After taking this medicine, you may feel tired or experience chest tightness for a short time.
These symptoms may be severe and radiate to the throat. Very rarely, this may be caused by the medicine affecting the heart. If these symptoms do not go away, tell your doctor.

MIGTAN with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or might take.
Interaction means that medicines taken at the same time can affect each other's action and/or side effects. The following notes may also apply to medicines you have taken in the past or plan to take in the future.

  • Medicines containing ergotamine or other triptans. These medicines must not be taken at the same time as MIGTAN (see section "When not to take MIGTAN"). After taking ergotamine-containing medicines, wait at least 24 hours before taking MIGTAN. After taking MIGTAN, wait at least 6 hours before taking ergotamine-containing medicines and at least 24 hours before taking other triptans
  • MAOIs (such as moclobemide for depression or selegiline for Parkinson's disease). Do not take MIGTAN for at least two weeks after stopping MAOIs
  • Taking triptans with antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) may cause serotonin syndrome (a condition characterized by symptoms such as restlessness, confusion, sweating, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, and shivering). If you experience these symptoms, tell your doctor
  • Taking sumatriptan and lithium (used to treat manic-depressive illness) may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome

Remember that the above medicines may be available under different names, often trade names. This section only lists the active substance or pharmacological group, not the trade name. Always carefully read the information on the active substance or therapeutic group provided on the packaging and in the leaflet of the medicines you are taking.
