More information about Naratriptan
Naratriptan, sold under the brand name Naramig, is an effective treatment for migraine attacks. It is particularly effective for moderate and long-lasting migraine attacks.
It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain and reducing nerve signals that cause pain. It is a 2.5mg tablet that you can buy online at HealthExpress.
Naratriptan belongs to a class of medicines called Triptans. These medicines work by mimicking the brain chemical serotonin.
They bind to the serotonin receptors in the brain. This relieves the symptoms of migraine in two main ways.
During a migraine, the blood vessels in your brain dilate which causes pain. Naratriptan reverses this effect, narrowing the blood vessels and reducing the pain.
It also combats overactive nerve signals that cause pain in the brain during a migraine attack.
