Imigran Nasal Spray contains sumatriptan and treats migraines by calming overactive pain pathways and narrowing widened blood vessels that trigger migraine symptoms. Because it bypasses the stomach, it can work quickly even if nausea or vomiting is present. It is useful for fast-building migraine attacks.

Imigran Nasal Spray often starts relieving symptoms within 15–30 minutes. This makes it particularly useful for migraines that become severe quickly or when vomiting slows the absorption of tablets. Taking it at the first sign of migraine pain usually improves results and reduces the risk of a prolonged attack.

Use one spray into one nostril as soon as migraine pain begins. Keep your head slightly upright and avoid sniffing too hard immediately after spraying. A second dose may be allowed later if symptoms return, depending on your prescriber’s instructions. Do not exceed the daily maximum.

Some people notice a taste at the back of the throat, tingling, dizziness, tiredness, or a warm sensation after use. These effects are usually brief. Rare symptoms such as chest discomfort or breathlessness require urgent help. If side effects are frequent or bothersome, another migraine treatment may suit you better.

Imigran Nasal Spray is unsuitable for people with heart disease, previous stroke, significant blood pressure problems, or vascular conditions. It also interacts with certain antidepressants and migraine preventers. A clinician will review your health and medicines before it is supplied.

Yes. Because it is absorbed through the nose rather than the stomach, Imigran Nasal Spray works well when nausea or vomiting makes tablets slow or difficult to take. It is often preferred for migraines with gut symptoms or rapid-onset nausea.

Yes. Many people find the nasal spray just as effective as tablets, and often faster. It can be particularly helpful for people with early vomiting, slow gastric emptying or attacks that escalate quickly. Choice depends on personal response and your migraine pattern.

Yes. Morning migraines can be difficult to treat because digestion is slower on waking. Imigran Nasal Spray works well in these situations because it bypasses the stomach completely and absorbs quickly. Many people with early-morning migraines prefer nasal spray for this reason.

Yes. Migraine nausea, vomiting or throat tightness can make swallowing difficult. Imigran Nasal Spray provides a fast alternative because it does not rely on the digestive system. It is especially useful for migraine attacks where nausea begins early or worsens rapidly.

A temporary taste can occur because the spray naturally drains from the nasal cavity to the throat. This is harmless and usually fades quickly. Taking a sip of water afterward may reduce the taste, although repeatedly sniffing hard is not recommended.

Yes. Sinus-type pressure or nasal congestion does not stop Imigran Nasal Spray from working. It can still be absorbed effectively through the nasal lining. If congestion is severe, using the spray in the clearer nostril is usually recommended for best effect.

Yes. Menstrual migraines often escalate quickly and are linked to hormonal changes. The nasal spray can provide rapid relief and is useful when nausea is a major feature. Some people use a planned treatment approach for predictable menstrual attacks.

If symptoms reduce but do not fully settle, a second dose may be allowed after the recommended interval. If partial relief is common, switching to another triptan, adjusting dose strength or exploring preventer options may improve future control.

Yes. Many people use ibuprofen, paracetamol or an anti-sickness medicine such as metoclopramide alongside Imigran Nasal Spray for better control. Avoid codeine because it increases medication-overuse headaches. Always check interactions with any regular medicines.

People whose migraines involve nausea, slow digestion or rapid escalation often respond better to nasal spray because absorption bypasses the stomach. Others simply prefer a non-tablet option. Your migraine pattern usually determines whether nasal spray works more reliably than tablets.
