Naratriptan

Uses

Naratriptan is used for the treatment of acute migraine headaches. It alleviates the symptoms of migraine and prevents the attack from worsening.

How it Works

How Naratriptan Works Migraine headaches are believed to result from the dilation of blood vessels in the head. Naratriptan works by constricting these blood vessels, thereby alleviating migraine headaches.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Naratriptan include dizziness, drowsiness, flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), weakness, peripheral neuropathy (tingling and numbness in the feet and hands), and a stiff neck.

Expert Advice

  • Some tips that may help avoid a migraine attack:
    • Have your meals at the same time every day.
    • Avoid bright lights and extreme temperatures.
    • Avoid loud music and noisy places.
    • Avoid chocolates, cheese, processed food, alcohol, and smoking.
    • Get enough sleep and manage stress.

  • Notify your doctor if your migraines occur more frequently after starting the medication.
  • Notify your doctor if you experience stomach pain, headache, bloody diarrhea, or worsening high blood pressure.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease or stroke.
