Description
Sumatriptan 6 mg/0.5 mL Injection is a medication designed for the acute treatment of migraines and cluster headaches. It is a selective serotonin receptor agonist (triptan) that helps relieve headache pain and other associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. The injection is provided as an autoinjector system.
Each autoinjector contains 6 mg of sumatriptan along with 3.5 mg of sodium chloride in a 0.5 mL solution. Sumatriptan works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, which constrict blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and block pain pathways. The medication is administered via subcutaneous injection and offers fast and effective relief, often within 10 to 20 minutes after administration.
This product is typically used when oral medications are ineffective or impractical due to the severity or vomiting associated with the migraine. The sumatriptan injection is intended for single-use and should be administered at the onset of migraine symptoms for optimal results.
