Understanding Migraines & Triptans
Sumatriptan
Most Common Triptan
The most widely used triptan. Works within 30-60 minutes. Available as tablets or nasal spray.
Zolmitriptan
Fast-Acting Option
Another effective triptan option. Works quickly to relieve migraine pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light.
Rizatriptan
Rapid Dissolve
Fast-dissolving tablet option. Works within 30 minutes for most patients. Well-tolerated.
How Triptans Work
Triptans work by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing inflammation that causes migraine pain. They also block pain signals from being sent to the brain. For best results, take at the first sign of a migraine - they're most effective when used early in an attack.
