Can I take these two medicines together? I normally take Sumatriptan for migraines. I fell on the ice and hurt my shoulder and the Orthopedic has me taken 1 Meloxicam a day. I have a bad migraine and need to know if I can take a Sumatriptan. ## While I haven't come across any drug interactions or contraindications suggesting that it's unsafe to take the two together, I think it would still be wise to consult your prescribing doctor just to be on the safe. That way they can cross-check for other determining factors as well based on your medical records. You can also read more about each medication in the links below: [1] Meloxicam [2] Sumatriptan Hope this helps!

One takes sumatriptan succinate for migraines. When one has started, it is tough to see clearly. However, the blister packaging of this drug is diffilcult and frustrating to deal with even without a migraine being present! WHY do these pills have to be packaged this way?????? ## Well, unless you're storing them for a very long time, there's really no reason they have to stay in that packaging. You'd want to make sure to keep them out of reach of children and pets, but you could take them out of the blister packs ahead of time, so when you need to take one for a migraine, you're not fighting with the packaging at an inopportune time. :-) Learn more Sumatriptan details here. I used to get muscle relaxants in similar packaging and I'd sit down with about a weeks worth a...

Experience awful migaine attacks. I have been prescribed 50mg sumatriptan pills and 20mg nasal spray would these be okay to take together ## Hello, Lou! How are you? I'm very sorry about the migraines! Yes, as long as your doctor has instructed you to use them together. The maximum oral dose is 200mgs in 24 hours and 40mgs for the nasal spray, so you likely shouldn't exceed 200mgs a day in total, unless your doctor has said otherwise. The FDA lists its typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, vertigo, throat irritation and chest discomfort. Is there anything else I can help with?

I take 150mgs bupropn hcl, and 50 mgs tramedol, each morning. now my Dr wants me to use sumatriptan 6mgs injections for my migraines. I have read quite a bit about drug interactions and I am concerned about mixing this combination. I have used fioricet 50mgs in the past to treat my migraines at onset, and Axert 12.5mgs later in the episode if necessary. Please advise. PS this is a new neurologist to me and I am not especially confident in him as of yet. Thank you Migraine Lady ## Aloha Migraine Lady, I am a 55 year old male and I can get cluster headaches if I do not stop it in the first 1 or 2 hours I have found the Sumatriptan to work for me I take more things for BP, gout, and more I have not found it to cause any interactions. Your doctor is maybe trying to stop the fioricet use as ...

I took the medication my doctor have me for migraines but now my head has pain and new pressure in the front of my head. Also my back is spasming really bad. ## Hello Shaun143! How are you? Sinus pressure and muscle spasms can be a normal side effect of this medication, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness and administration site irritation. However, such side effects are usually transient and tend to go away, with time, as your body gets used to the medication. If they do not, or they get severe, you should consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

Mine are bottled as 100mg Sumatriptan, (Aka Imitrex) from Mexico. Used to treat migraines. ## From what I've researched, apparently the manufacturer of this particular pill is "RAAM Laboratorio" based out of Guadalajara, Mexico. If you ever have any discrepancies regarding what you're taking (knock on wood), I found the company's contact information to be listed as follows: Tel: (01 + 33) 3631 5498/4780 4047/48 Email: [email protected] Address: Calle 5 No. 708 Industrial Zone Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico CP 44940 How well would you say it works for migraines from your own experience?

I have been taking one Treximet or one Sumatriptan per day for years. It's the only thing that keeps me going. I have severe migraines and that is the only thing works. It is a triptan like imitrex. These aren't controlled drugs, they just get rid of the migraine. Where can I get Treximet cheaper? In the US the pills are $700 for 9 pills. My insurance only lets me have 9 per month too. ## Ordering them from outside the U.S. would be illegal, since it is available here. My guess is that your insurance limits it due to the price and the fact that most people don't take them every day, but only as needed. Have you checked the prices with other pharmacies in your area? Does your insurance company have a mail order program? Those are sometimes cheaper. Typical side effects of thi...

I have taken all sumatriptans ever made probably with Dr. reddys being used currently. I have taken imitrex since it was invented and still am in awe of its effectiveness. Yesterday I opened a box of two prefilled auto injectors with the usual results. So today I took the second and shot and within ten minutes began itching with welts and swelling. One hand was blueish with nausea/vomiting and abdominal cramping. There was absolutely nothing different than 100 other times. It was bad enough I will be concerned to take it. Has this happened to anyone else? ## I am very sorry about what you've experienced. However, our bodies do change with time, so such an experience is entirely plausible, according to NIH reports, though only a medical professional can give you a definitive answer a...
