CLASS and MECHANISM of Action
It is a triptan drug including a sulfonamide group, which was originally developed for the treatment of migraine headaches. Generic "Imitrex" mimics certain actions of serotonin, a naturally occurring neurotransmitter that plays a role in several biological functions in the body, including some in the brain. Serotonin affects nerve cells by stimulating and interacting with various types of receptors, which in turn trigger certain responses in the cells.
Active Ingredients: Sumatriptan
Inactive Ingredients: magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium, dibasic calcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium bicarbonate.
