Availability of Imigran recovery
Previously only available on prescription, sumatriptan the active ingredient in Imigran Recovery has been available in a 2 tablet pack over the counter in pharmacies since June 2006.
How does it work?
Sumatriptan acts like serotonin, the brain chemical involved in migraine, helping to return blood vessels to normal and calming the sensory nerves. The result is that Imigran Recovery, by acting on the root cause of migraine, can stop all the main migraine symptoms in their tracks: headache pain, sickness (nausea) and sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia).
What are the benefits?
Highly effective migraine relief:
Just one tablet can bring migraine relief in around 80% of sufferers. The second tablet can be taken after at least 2 hours if the symptoms start to come back. No more than 2 tablets should be taken within 24 hours or to treat the same attack.
It's fast:
Headache relief can start in just 30 minutes and sufferers can get complete
relief of the migraine headache and the ability to return to normal daily
activities in two hours. For sufferers that could be the difference between
hours spent in bed, or being able to get on with their lives.
