General pain relievers are made to relieve general kinds of pain. IMITREX is different.

It was specifically designed just for migraines, and was the first medicine of its kind to target the nerves and blood vessels believed to trigger your total migraine — the throbbing pain, nausea, and the sensitivity to light and sound.

IMITREX is a medicine for the acute treatment of migraine attacks, in adults. You should not take IMITREX if you have certain types of heart disease, a history of stroke or TIAs, peripheral vascular disease, Raynaud syndrome, or blood pressure that is uncontrolled. If you have risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or are a smoker, you should be evaluated by your doctor before taking IMITREX.

IMITREX is available in tablets, injection, and a nasal spray to suit your individual needs.Your migraine pain can be relieved while you remain active, alert, and in control.

The most common side effects of IMITREX are tingling and warm/cold sensations (Tablets), a bad/unusual taste (Nasal Spray), and injection-site reactions, atypical sensations (such as feelings of tingling, warm/hot sensations), dizziness, and flushing (Injection).

Most side effects last for only a short time.
