Safely Buy Imitrex ( Sumatriptan ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

What Is Imitrex 

Imitrex generic name is sumatriptan; it belongs to the class of triptan, which reverses the changes in the brain causing migraines. It is prescribed to treat migraines, a headache in adults accompanied by severe throbbing pain or pulsing sensation on one side of the head; it can also relieve other symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, and sensitivity to lights and sounds. This medicine stimulates serotonin to narrow the swollen blood vessels in the brain to relieve pain from migraine; it decreases the plasma concentration of CRGP, a protein that causes inflammations in the brain. Sumatriptan is not intended to prevent migraine attacks and will not reduce the number of attacks.
