Sumatriptan is used for:
a- Hypertension.
b- Treatment of migraine***
c- Angina Pectoris.
d- Control of Epilepsy.
The treatment of migraine includes two types of complementary treatments: the treatment of the crisis which aims to quickly relieve pain and the background treatment which aims to reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures.
The management of migraine:
The treatment of the migraine attack should be as early as possible.
It is a function of the intensity of the crisis and the effectiveness of the drugs in previous crises.
In mild to moderate seizures, treatment may be nonspecific (NSAIDs, aspirin or paracetamol).
In the event of a severe attack from the outset or not relieved by NSAIDs, there are specific treatments: triptans, powerful vasodilators, and derivatives of ergot of rye.
It can be helpful to keep a seizure agenda for 6 months by noting the date of migraine onset, its duration, the intensity of the pain and the medications used to relieve the seizure.
The doctor can use these data to better estimate the severity of the migraine, take into account the impact of the disease on daily life, possibly change the choice of drugs and monitoring procedures.
It may also be advisable to count each month the number of specific or nonspecific antimigraine medicines taken to detect potential drug abuse.
Non-specific treatments for the migraine attack:
Non-specific treatments are based on the use of Level 1 analgesics: paracetamol, aspirin alone or in combination with antinauseants, NSAIDs.
NSAIDs recommended in migraine are diclofenac, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and naproxen.
Some NSAID-based medicines have a specific indication in the migraine attack. They are listed below.
Antalgics containing an opiate (codeine, tramadol) or a derivative of morphine are not recommended due to the risk of abuse.
