Migraine symptoms may be caused by the temporary widening of blood vessels in the head. Sumatriptan is believed to reduce the widening of these blood vessels. This in turn helps to take away the headache and relieve other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting) and sensitivity to light and sound.
Sumatriptan works only when a migraine attack has started. It will not stop you from getting an attack.
You must not use sumatriptan to prevent a migraine attack.
