Introduction
About Imigran 50mg tablets
Imigran is branded sumatriptan, a triptan used to treat the symptoms of migraine, not the underlying cause of why migraines happen. Triptans interact with specific receptors in the brain and can ease migraine pain as well as associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light or sound.
Take one tablet when your migraine starts. If symptoms improve, wait at least 2 hours before taking a second dose. Treatment is only supplied after a UK-registered clinician reviews your consultation.

Benefits
Why people consider Imigran
Imigran is the branded form of sumatriptan. Where clinically appropriate, it can ease an established migraine attack when taken at the start of symptoms.
Branded sumatriptan
Imigran contains sumatriptan, the same active triptan used in generic 50mg tablets.
Treats migraine symptoms
Taken when a migraine starts to ease pain and related symptoms — not as daily prevention.
Clear dosing schedule
One tablet at onset; if it helps, wait at least 2 hours before a second dose. Maximum usually 2 doses in 24 hours.
Clinician review before supply
Every request is checked against your migraine history, medicines and safety information before a prescription is issued.
Eligibility
Who Imigran may be for
Imigran is considered for selected adults with migraine after a clinical review. It is not suitable for everyone, especially people with certain heart or circulation problems.
May be suitable if
- You have migraines that have been diagnosed or clearly described to a clinician
- You prefer the branded Imigran presentation of sumatriptan 50mg
- You can take one tablet at the start of an attack and follow the 2-hour gap before a second dose if needed
- You understand the maximum is usually 2 doses in 24 hours
May not be suitable if
- You have a history of heart attack, stroke, uncontrolled high blood pressure or other conditions a clinician considers unsafe with triptans
- You are allergic to sumatriptan, Imigran or other triptans
- You need urgent care for a sudden severe headache unlike your usual migraine
- You want daily prevention rather than treatment of attacks
A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate. Completing a consultation does not guarantee a prescription.
How it works
How Imigran works
Imigran contains sumatriptan, a triptan that acts on specific brain receptors involved in migraine. Triptans can ease migraine symptoms including nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light or sound. Other triptans include rizatriptan and zolmitriptan.

Safety
Safety information
Imigran treats migraine symptoms; it does not prevent future attacks on its own. Tell your clinician about heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, other medicines and previous triptan use.
Seek urgent medical help for a sudden severe headache that is different from your usual migraine, chest pain, or signs of an allergic reaction.
- Take at the start of a migraine attack, not as daily prevention.
- Maximum of 2 doses in 24 hours unless your clinician advises otherwise.
- Only take a second dose if the first dose helped, and wait at least 2 hours.
- Always read the patient information leaflet.
Side effects
Possible side effects
Side effects can include nausea, vomiting, tiredness or drowsiness, and dizziness. Your leaflet lists the full profile.
- Nausea or vomiting Can occur with migraines and with treatment. Seek advice if it is severe or you cannot keep fluids down.
- Tiredness or drowsiness Do not drive or use machinery if you feel sleepy. Rest until you feel better.
- Dizziness Take care standing up. Seek advice if dizziness is severe or persistent.
