Frequently asked questions

What is Naramig used for?+
Naramig contains the active ingredient naratriptan and is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks in adults. It helps relieve headache pain and associated symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light, and sound.
How does naratriptan work?+
Naratriptan works by selectively activating serotonin 5‑HT1B and 5‑HT1D receptors on cranial blood vessels and trigeminal nerve endings. This causes vasoconstriction of dilated vessels and blocks the release of neuropeptides that trigger migraine pain.
What is the usual dose of Naramig?+
The specific dose of Naramig is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s clinical condition, severity of migraine, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
Is Naramig safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of naratriptan in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Healthcare providers should weigh potential benefits against possible risks and discuss alternative options with pregnant or nursing patients.
How do I order Naramig from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Naramig compare with other migraine treatments?+
Naramig (naratriptan) belongs to the triptan class, which is generally more migraine‑specific than non‑specific analgesics. Compared with sumatriptan, naratriptan has a longer half‑life, offering a more extended period of symptom relief, but individual response may vary.
How should Naramig be stored and handled?+
Store Naramig tablets at room temperature below 25 °C, in the original blister pack, and protect them from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.
How is Naramig administered?+
Naramig is taken orally as a tablet. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, preferably at the first sign of a migraine attack. Patients should not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless directed by a healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks associated with Naramig?+
Serious risks include chest pain or tightness, severe hypertension, and serotonin syndrome, especially when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Any sudden cardiovascular symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Naramig?+
Naramig should be avoided in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, a history of ischemic heart disease, severe hepatic impairment, or known hypersensitivity to naratriptan or any tablet excipients. It is also contraindicated when used with certain ergot or other triptan medications.
