Imigran Recovery is used to treat migraine. These tablets contain sumatriptan, which belongs to a group of medicines called triptans (5-HT1 receptor agonists). Migraine symptoms may be caused by the temporary swelling of blood vessels in the head due to a temporary imbalance in the body' natural chemicals.
The tablets are believed to work on this imbalance and reduce the swelling of these blood vessels. The tablets help to take away the headacheand other symptoms of a migraine attack such as sick (nausea) and sensitivity to light and sound. They start to relieve migraine headache about 30 minutes after you take them.
Adults aged 18 to 65 years: Swallow one tablet whole with water as soon as possible at the first signs of a migraine headache. If you symptoms start to come back, you can take the SECOND tablet after 2 hours. You must leave at least two hours after the first tablet.
DO NOT take more than 2 tablets in 24 hours and DO NOT take more than two tablets for the same attack.
DO NOT take a second tablet if the first tablet does not provide any relief.
