  • Triptans are not to be used as a preventative, but only as symptomatic relief
  • If symptoms are NOT reduced after the first dose, you MUST NOT take a second dose for the same attack. In the event of a subsequent attack, a triptan can be taken again after 2 hours (you must fully recover from your first migraine)
  • If you have aura, triptans should be taken at the start of the headache and NOT at the start of the aura (unless the aura and headache start simultaneously)
  • You MUST NOT take more than the maximum dose in any 24-hour period
  • There is a possibility that this medication may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery
  • Using medication for 10 days or more a month can cause a medication overuse headache
  • Avoidance of known triggers and lifestyle changes such as stress management, good sleep hygiene, adequate hydration, regular meals, exercise, and maintenance of a healthy weight can help
  • Feeling tightness in the chest or chest pain shortly after taking a triptan requires urgent medical attention
  • If your migraine persists for longer than 24 hours, you should seek medical attention
  • Medication overuse headache (MOH) is common in people with migraine and can be avoided by restriction of acute medication to a maximum of 2 days per week
  • You should contact us and your GP, if treatment proves to be ineffective. There are alternative routes that can be explored in an attempt to reduce symptoms
