You should also speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you would like further information or if you have any concerns or questions about taking IPTAM MIGRAINE RELIEF.

Where to find information in this leaflet:

1. Why am I taking IPTAM MIGRAINE RELIEF?

IPTAM MIGRAINE RELIEF contains the active ingredient sumatriptan succinate, which belongs to a group of medicines called serotonin agonists.

IPTAM MIGRAINE RELIEF is used to relieve a migraine headache in patients who have a stable, well-established pattern of symptoms. It should not be used to prevent migraine attacks from occurring. Do not take IPTAM MIGRAINE RELIEF unless your condition has been diagnosed by a doctor.

It is thought that migraine headache is due to widening of certain blood vessels in the head. This medicine works by making the blood vessels normal again and eases the symptoms of migraine.

Your IPTAM MIGRAINE RELIEF tablets do not work in other types of headaches which are not migraine.

There is no evidence that IPTAM MIGRAINE RELIEF is addictive.

Medication overuse headaches

Overuse of medications for relief of headache and migraine can worsen your condition and lead to:
