Introduction
Imitrex is the name brand for the drug whose active ingredient is sumatriptan. Triptans are a class of medicines that are used primarily to treat cluster headaches and migraine headaches. The drug does not prevent migraine headaches, but rather treats them as they occur. It is believed that triptans including sumatriptan work by acting on serotonin receptors in nerve endings and blood vessels. The result is constriction of expanded blood vessels in the head, and usually a quick end to the headache.
