Sumatriptan-naproxen

Drug Details

Treximet is a medication designed to treat migraine attacks, with or without aura, in individuals aged 12 years and older. It combines two active ingredients: sumatriptan and naproxen. Sumatriptan, a triptan, works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain to alleviate headache pain, while naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), reduces inflammation and pain. This combination effectively addresses migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound, helping patients resume their regular activities sooner. Treximet is taken orally at the onset of a migraine. Although side effects like dizziness, sleepiness, and nausea can occur, they are generally uncommon. It's important to note that Treximet does not prevent future migraines or reduce the frequency of attacks. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
