Sumatriptan succinate Rapid- Release (50mg)

Sumatriptan succinate is a medication primarily used to treat migraine headaches. It belongs to a class of drugs called triptans, which work by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause migraine symptoms. The "rapid-release" formulation of sumatriptan is designed to provide fast relief from migraine symptoms. Here is a rundown of its uses, suggested dosage, and potential side effects:

Uses:
Sumatriptan succinate rapid-release tablets are used to treat acute migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. They are not intended for the prevention of migraine headaches or for the treatment of other types of headaches.

Dosage:
The typical dosage of sumatriptan succinate rapid-release tablets for adults is 25 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg taken orally at the onset of a migraine attack. If the migraine symptoms return after an initial improvement, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first dose. However, the total daily dosage should not exceed 200 mg.

Instructions:

Take sumatriptan as soon as you feel a migraine headache coming on, or as directed by your doctor.
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
The drug can be taken with or without food.
