Medicine Description sumigran 25mg
Sumigran 25 mg 2 tablets is a medication that primarily functions as a selective agonist for the serotonin (5-HT) receptors, specifically targeting the 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D subtypes. By binding to these receptors located in cranial blood vessels and the trigeminal nerve system, Sumatriptan causes vasoconstriction, which alleviates the dilated state of blood vessels that is characteristic of a migraine attack. This action results in a decrease in the release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides, thereby reducing the transmission of pain signals. The rapid onset of action helps in providing timely relief from migraine symptoms and is most effective when administered early during the onset of an attack.
