Sumatran Relief Migraine Tablets contain sumatriptan 50mg, used to treat acute migraine headaches with or without aura in adults aged 18 to 65 years with a confirmed diagnosis of migraine.
Sumatriptan works by reducing the temporary widening of blood vessels in the head, helping to relieve headache pain and associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Sumatran Relief works only once a migraine attack has started — it will not prevent an attack.
Who Can Use Sumatran Relief?
Suitable for adults aged 18 to 65 years with a confirmed diagnosis of migraine.
Not recommended for:
- Children and adolescents under 18 years
- Adults over 65 years
How to Use
- Take one 50mg tablet with water once the migraine has started.
- If your migraine improves but returns, you may take a second 50mg tablet at least 2 hours after the first.
