Overview

Imigran Nasal Spray 20mg Online

Imigran Nasal Spray is used for migraines which have already been diagnosed by a medical professional and not for other types of headaches or previously undiagnosed migraines. A migraine is characterised by moderate to severe throbbing headache on one side of the head, it sometimes follows visual symptoms known as aura, the cause of migraines is a temporary widening of blood vessels in the brain.

Other symptoms of migraines are also nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light and sound. Examples of aura symptoms are seeing bright lights, flashing lights, zigzag patterns which usually dwindle prior to a headache settling in.

If you have migraines on 5 or more days a month or migraines are affecting your quality of life but have not previously been diagnosed by a medical professional talk to your GP about them.

You can alternatively buy Imigran tablets or its cheaper version Sumatriptan.

How does it work

The active ingredient in Imigran Nasal Spray is Sumatriptan which works by reducing the widening of the blood vessels in the brain in turn which takes away the migraine and associated symptoms.

When to take

Imigran Nasal Spray can be taken as soon as you feel a migraine coming on or are having a migraine it should NOT be taken as a preventative measure. If one nasal spray is used and symptoms of migraine decrease and return another nasal spray can be used as long as you leave a 2-hour gap between the two nasal sprays. Do not take more than two 20mg nasal spray doses in 24 hours.
