Imitrex Migraine Treatment
If you suffer from intense migraine headaches, with or without the accompanying aura that can produce vision disturbances, ask your doctor about Imitrex migraine treatment. Imitrex is prescribed for migraine or cluster headaches in many patients, although it has other uses as well. Doctors believe that this medication works as a vasoconstrictor by narrowing veins and arteries that carry blood to the head. Imitrex cannot prevent migraine attacks, but it can treat the pain and discomfort that accompanies such attacks. Those who have heart problems, circulatory disorders, or other health issues should inform their doctor before asking for Imitrex. This medicine can have an impact on blood pressure, cholesterol, and other body functions that can lead to potentially serious side effects or complications. Women who are pregnant should not take Imitrex unless the benefits of doing so outweigh possible damage to the fetus. Imitrex should not be prescribed or used by patients with regular headaches, or headaches that occur suddenly and sharply. The latter kind may signal a serious disorder like stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack), and these must be handled on an emergency basis. Taking Imitrex might make such conditions worse rather than better. Be sure to follow the instructions
