Frequently asked questions

What is Naramig used for?+
Naramig contains the active ingredient naratriptan and is prescribed for the acute treatment of migraine attacks in adults. It helps to relieve headache pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound that occur during a migraine episode.
How does naratriptan work?+
Naratriptan works by selectively stimulating serotonin 5‑HT1B and 5‑HT1D receptors on cranial blood vessels and trigeminal nerve fibers. This causes the vessels to constrict and blocks the release of inflammatory neuropeptides, interrupting the migraine cascade and reducing pain.
What is the usual dose of Naramig?+
The dose of Naramig is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s medical condition, response to therapy, and other medications. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Naramig is taken orally with a glass of water. It is usually taken at the first sign of a migraine attack. Patients should not exceed the maximum daily dose recommended by their prescriber.
What are the most serious risks associated with Naramig?+
Serious risks include chest pain or tightness, heart rhythm disturbances, severe hypertension, serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs, and rare allergic reactions. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Naramig?+
Naramig should not be used by individuals with a history of coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, hemiplegic or basilar migraine, or those taking MAO inhibitors or other triptans. Patients with known hypersensitivity to naratriptan should also avoid it.
