Sumatriptan is used to treat acute migraine attacks by targeting the serotonergic pathway.

What precautions apply to Sumatriptan?

When prescribing Imigran S.C., consider the following precautions: - Assess cardiovascular history: avoid use in patients with ischemic heart disease. - Review concomitant serotonergic drugs: risk of serotonin syndrome. - Avoid in uncontrolled hypertension: monitor blood pressure closely. - Use caution in patients with hemiplegic or basilar migraine. - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.
