How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Sumatriptan). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Sumatriptan binds with high affinity to human cloned 5‑HT 1B/1D receptors.

Sumatriptan presumably exerts its therapeutic effects in the treatment of migraine headache through agonist effects at the 5‑HT 1B/1D receptors on intracranial blood vessels and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system, which result in cranial vessel constriction and inhibition of pro‑inflammatory neuropeptide release.

Half-life2.5 h

How the body breaks it down

In vitro studies with human microsomes suggest that sumatriptan is metabolized by MAO, predominantly the A isoenzyme.

How it leaves the body

Most of a radiolabeled dose of sumatriptan excreted in the urine is the major metabolite indole acetic acid (IAA) or the IAA glucuronide, both of which are inactive.

With food

Effect of Food: A food effect trial involving administration of sumatriptan tablets 100 mg to healthy volunteers under fasting conditions and with a high‑ fat meal indicated that the C max and AUC were increased by 15% and 12%, respectively, when administered in the fed state.
