Generic Imitrex (Sumatriptan 25 mg) Medication guide:

What is Imitrex?

The medication sold currently under the trade name Imitrex among others was developed back in 1989 by a British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline. It is a medication with the active substance called Sumatriptan that is used to prevent migraines or severe unstoppable headaches. Since a lot of time had passed after the medication development, it is now also available in a form of generic, i.e. the same medicine made by different companies and sold cheaper.

The medication is considered a golden standard among other means used to treat migraines as its safety and efficiency were tested in more than sixty thousand patients and overall three hundred migraine attacks. The satisfaction of patients with this medication reaches a record share of 63% which is significantly more than the satisfaction by other anti-migraine medications.

Now you can choose and buy Imitrex or a generic version of the medication at a fraction of the price. Both medications are available in a form of tablets, nasal spray, and rectal suppositories that are very convenient and preferable to use if the migraine attack is also accompanied by nausea.

How does Imitrex provide its effect?

The medication selectively affects certain serotonin receptors located primarily in the blood vessels of the brain. It excites these receptors, prevents the activation of the trigeminal system and reduces the accumulation of a specific protein that renders simulative effect in the nuclei of the trigeminal nerve; it activates the serotonergic antinociceptive mechanisms of the brainstem. Sumatriptan causes the narrowing of the blood vessels that are widened during a migraine attack. Thus, it stops the development of the attack without rendering a direct analgesic (painkilling) effect.

After the intake of pills, the effect of the medication develops within 30 minutes. If you use the medication in another form, the time of action can differ.

The medication is quickly absorbed from the digestive tract and within forty-five minutes its concentration in the blood plasma is 70% of the maximum achieved concentration. After the medication does its job, it is excreted in urine.

Is Generic Imitrex as effective as the branded medication?

Considering that all generics are produced using the original formula of the medications, yes, they render the same effect as the brand-name drugs. The initial idea of generics introduction was to make the essential medicines affordable to anyone and available anywhere in the world. The key words here are “the essential medicines” so when a drug is an approved generic it must correspond to the original formula otherwise it is not a generic of that medicine. So do not be scared to buy Generic Imitrex instead of the well-known medicine as you will get the same effect but for a lower price without any deception if you opt to get it from your local drugstore or our online pharmacy as we guarantee that we sell the products of only reputable pharmaceutical companies. However, if you choose another online seller, you may end up buying an inferior medication or a placebo so choose wisely.
