Triptans Prove To Be Helpful to Migraine Headache Sufferers

Posted In Prevention | No comments

Many people suffer from migraine headaches. While there are many preventative medications that can be used, there are also medications that are used at the onset of a migraine headache. Migraine headaches are characterized by pain on one side of the head, sensitivity to light or sound, throbbing head pain, nausea or vomiting, and unusual vision changes.

Triptans

Triptans are a class of prescription medications which are used to treat migraine headaches. Triptans are used to help with common migraine headache symptoms. This class of medication is approved to treat migraine headaches with and without an aura.

During a migraine headache the blood vessels in the head become dilated, or become wider open than they usually are. This dilation is actually thought to be the cause of many of the symptoms migraine headaches. Triptans are designed to begin to narrow these blood vessels. However, doctors and researchers do not exactly how they help the pain and other symptoms of migraine headaches. What they do know, is that is symptoms are drastically reduced when a triptan is taken.

This class of medications is designed to be taken at the onset of a migraine. It will not prevent a migraine. If taken at the proper time, these medicines can be very effective of eliminating the migraine headache very quickly. Unfortunately, if this medication is taken too late, it will only limit the effects of the migraine headache.

Common triptan medications include almotriptan, frovatriptan, rizatriptan, sumatriptan and zolmitriptan. These medications may be known by more popular brand names such as Axert, Frova, Maxalt, Imitrex, and Zomig. Overall triptans have been shown to help migraine headache sufferers much more effectively than just pain medications.

Just like with all other prescription medications, triptans also can come with side effects. Each person’s body reacts differently to these medications. Patients should remember that their doctor knows the side effects and has chosen that the benefits outweigh the risk of the medications.

Patients should keep every appointment with their doctor while taking triptans. The doctor will continually check blood pressure and do other routine checks at these appointments. These tests will assess whether the triptans are posing any other risk to the patient’s health. The doctor will also assess whether or not the triptans are helping the patient.
