Sumigral tablets

Description

If you have suffered from migraine attacks many times, you must have heard of the name of Sumigral. But what is Sumatriptan really for? Sumatriptan, which is produced under the trade name Sumigral by Kish Medipharm Pharmaceutical Company, is one of the effective drugs in the treatment of migraine attacks. Sumatriptan belongs to a group of drugs called triptans and is usually prescribed by a specialist doctor to reduce the severity and duration of migraine attacks. This drug is produced in doses of 50 mg and 100 mg and is supplied in the form of oral tablets in packs of 4. Sumatriptan, with its special mechanism of action, can significantly affect the quality of life of people with such disorders and bring more peace to people.

Sumigrel works by binding to certain brain blood vessel receptors called serotonin (5-HT1) receptors. The blood vessels in the brain are usually constricted, and if they dilate, they cause pain and migraines. Sumatriptan relieves the person from this severe pain by constricting these blood vessels.
