$180.00 – $499.00Price range: $180.00 through $499.00
Suminat 50 mg Tablet contains Sumatriptan 50mg, a fast-acting medication used to treat acute migraine attacks with or without aura. It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain, helping to relieve headache pain, nausea, and light/sound sensitivity when taken at the onset of symptoms. Ideal for adults seeking mid-strength migraine relief under medical supervision.
Suminat 50 mg Tablet, manufactured by Sun Pharma Laboratories Ltd., contains Sumatriptan (50 mg), a selective serotonin receptor agonist (triptan) that actively relieves acute migraine headaches with or without aura in adults. It constricts dilated blood vessels in the brain, blocks pain signals, and inhibits inflammatory substances like calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Suminat 50 mg effectively reduces migraine symptoms, including headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound, but does not prevent migraines or treat other headache types like cluster headaches. It is used under medical supervision.
