Sumatran Relief Migraine Tablets

Description

Sumatran Relief Migraine Tablets

Ingredients:

• Sumatriptan – 50mg per tablet
• 2 tablets per pack

Features:

• Sumatran Relief can be used to relieve acute migraine attacks that happen with or without warning signs (aura), such as sensitivity to light, feeling sick, in patients who have a well established pattern of symptoms and who have previously been diagnosed with migraine.
• Sumatran Relief must only be used if a diagnosis of “migraine” has been clearly established by your doctor in your case and other factors have been excluded. Certain forms of migraine cannot be treated with sumatriptan.
• Migraine symptoms may be caused by the temporary widening of blood vessels in the head.
• Sumatriptan is believed to reduce the widening of these blood vessels. This in turn helps to take away the headache and relieve other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting) and sensitivity to light and sound.
• Sumatran Relief works only when a migraine attack has started. It will not stop you from getting an attack. You must not use sumatriptan to prevent a migraine attack.
• You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after one day.

Directions:

• Adults (18 to 65 years):
  • The recommended dose is 50 mg sumatriptan once the migraine has started.
  • If your migraine improves after the first dose (50mg) but the symptoms reappear an additional 50mg can be taken.
  • You must wait at least 2 hours after taking the first dose before you can take the second dose.
  • You must not take more than 100mg (2 Tablets) of Sumatran Relief in any 24-hour period.
  • If the first tablet has no effect: Do not take a second tablet for the same attack. You can take other painkillers such as Paracetamol, Aspirin, or Ibuprofen.
  • Speak to your doctor if:
    • You need to take Sumatran more than 2 days per week
    • You need to take Sumatran more than 10 days per month
