Medicine details
- CATEGORY OF SUMAREX 20 MG NASAL SPRAY:
- • Migraine Drugs
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF SUMATRIPTAN:
- • Sumatriptan is in a class of medications called selective serotonin receptor agonists.
- • It works by narrowing blood vessels in the head, stopping pain signals from being sent to the brain, and blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause pain, nausea, and other symptoms of migraine.
- NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS & ADVICE TO REDUCE MIGRAINES ATTACKS:
- • Many people with migraine report sensitivity to light and sound, which can make headaches worse. So, Rest in a Quiet, Dark Room
- • Apply a Warm or Cold Compress to Your Head or Neck
- • About one in three people with migraine say dehydration is a trigger for their headaches, according to the American Migraine Foundation. Staying hydrated between attacks, therefore, may help to prevent some.
- • Massage can help your muscles relax, and it’s been studied for pain management for several conditions, including headache
- • Exercising during a migraine attack can make the pain worse, but exercising between attacks may help to reduce the number of attacks you have.
- • Ginger has been well-documented as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial. In addition, a 2014 study published in the Phytotherapy ResearchTrusted Source showed that ginger powder’s benefits were comparable to sumatriptan, a common prescription migraine drug, but with fewer side effects. Ginger is available at Flexizac Capsules
