==Overview==
*


'''Sumatriptan''' is a synthetic drug belonging to the [[triptan]] class, used for the treatment of [[migraine]] headaches. Structurally, it is an analog of the naturally occurring neuro-active [[alkaloids]] [[dimethyltryptamine]] ([[O-Desmethyltramadol|DMT]]), [[bufotenine]], and [[5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine]], with an N-methyl sulfonamidomethyl- group at position C-5 on the [[indole]] ring.<ref>The presence of the [[Sulfonamide (chemistry)|sulfonamide]] group in the molecule does not make sumatriptan a "sulfa drug", since it does not have any [[anti-microbial]] properties.</ref>

==Adverse Effects==
<!--Clinical Studies-->


Large doses of sumatriptan can cause [[sulfhemoglobinemia]], a rare condition in which the blood changes from red to greenish-black, due to the integration of [[sulfur]] into the [[hemoglobin]] molecule.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6733203.stm|title=Patient bleeds dark green blood|date=8 June 2007|work=BBC News|accessdate=6 March 2010}}</ref> If sumatriptan is discontinued, the condition reverses within a few weeks.
|clinicalStudies=


Serious cardiac events, including some that have been fatal, have occurred following the use of sumatriptan injection or tablets. Events reported have included coronary artery vasospasm, transient myocardial ischemia, [[myocardial infarction]], [[ventricular tachycardia]], and ventricular fibrillation. {{Citation needed|date=December 2011}}
There is limited information regarding <i>Clinical Studies</i> of {{PAGENAME}} in the drug label.


The most common side-effects<ref>[http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/05/briefing/2005-4180b_09_05_Imitrex%20label%20tablet%2012-04%20Sponsor.pdfsumatriptan Tablets]</ref> reported by at least 2% of patients in controlled trials of sumatriptan (25, 50, and 100&nbsp;mg tablets) for migraine are atypical sensations (paresthesias and warm/cold sensations) reported by 4% in the placebo group and 5–6% in the sumatriptan groups, pain and other pressure sensations (including chest pain) reported by 4% in the placebo group and 6–8% in the sumatriptan groups, neurological events ([[vertigo]]) reported by less than 1% in the placebo group and less than 1% to 2% in the sumatriptan groups. Malaise/fatigue occurred in less than 1% of the placebo group and 2–3% of the sumatriptan groups. Sleep disturbance occurred in less than 1% in the placebo group to 2% in the sumatriptan group.
<!--How Supplied-->


==Mechanism of Action==
|howSupplied=


Sumatriptan is structurally similar to [[serotonin|serotonin (5-HT)]], and is a selective [[agonist]] for [[5-HT1D|5-HT<sub>1D</sub>]] and [[5-HT1B|5-HT<sub>1B</sub>]] receptors which are present on the cranial vasculature.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Razzaque Z, Heald MA, Pickard JD, ''et al.'' |title=Vasoconstriction in human isolated middle meningeal arteries: determining the contribution of 5-HT1B- and 5-HT1F-receptor activation |journal=Br J Clin Pharmacol |volume=47 |issue=1 |pages=75–82 |year=1999 |pmid=10073743 |pmc=2014192|doi=10.1046/j.1365-2125.1999.00851.x}}</ref> By activating these receptors, sumatriptan causes [[vasoconstriction]] and reduces neurogenic [[inflammation]] associated with antidromic neuronal transmission correlating with relief of [[migraine]].
*


Sumatriptan is also shown to decrease the activity of the [[trigeminal nerve]], which, it is presumed, accounts for sumatriptan's efficacy in treating [[Cluster Headache|cluster headaches]]. The injectable form of the drug has been shown to abort a cluster headache within fifteen minutes in 96% of cases.<ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1056/NEJM199108013250505 Treatment of acute cluster headache with sumatriptan. The Sumatriptan Cluster Headache Study Group. N Engl J Med 1991;325:322-6.]</ref>
<!--Patient Counseling Information-->


==Pharmacokinetics==
|fdaPatientInfo=


Sumatriptan is administered in several forms; tablets, [[subcutaneous injection]], and nasal spray. Oral administration (as [[succinate]]) suffers from poor [[bioavailability]], partly due to presystemic [[metabolism]]—some of it gets broken down in the stomach and bloodstream before it reaches the target arteries. A new rapid-release tablet formulation has the same bioavailability, but the maximum concentration is achieved on average 10–15 minutes earlier. When injected, sumatriptan is faster-acting (usually within 10 minutes), but the effect lasts for a shorter time. Sumatriptan is metabolised primarily by [[Monoamine oxidase|monoamine oxidase A]] into an [[indole acetic acid]] analogue, part of which is further conjugated with [[glucuronic acid]]. These metabolites are excreted in the urine and bile.  Only about 3% of the active drug may be recovered unchanged.
There is limited information regarding <i>Patient Counseling Information</i> of {{PAGENAME}} in the drug label.


There is no simple, direct relationship between sumatriptan concentration (pharmacokinetics) per se in the blood and its anti-migraine effect (pharmacodynamics).  This paradox has, to some extent, been resolved by comparing the rates of absorption of the various sumatriptan formulations, rather than the absolute amounts of drug that they deliver.<ref>{{cite pmid|14756852}}</ref><ref>{{cite pmid|15953294}}</ref>
<!--Precautions with Alcohol-->


==Approval==
|alcohol=


Sumatriptan was the first clinically available [[triptan]] (in 1991). In the United States, it is available only by medical prescription. However, it can be bought over the counter in the UK and Sweden in 50&nbsp;mg dosage. Several dosage forms for sumatriptan have been approved, including [[Tablet (pharmacy)|tablets]], solution for [[Injection (medicine)|injection]], and nasal [[inhaler]]s.
* Alcohol-{{PAGENAME}} interaction has not been established. Talk to your doctor about the effects of taking alcohol with this medication.


On April 15, 2008, the US FDA approved [[Treximet]], a combination of sumatriptan and [[naproxen]], an [[NSAID]].<ref>[http://www.gsk.com/media/pressreleases/2008/2008_us_pressrelease_10034.htm GSK press release – Treximet (sumatriptan and naproxen sodium) tablets approved by FDA for acute treatment of migraine]</ref> This combination has shown a benefit over either medicine used separately.<ref name="pmid17405970">{{cite journal |author=Brandes JL, Kudrow D, Stark SR, ''et al.'' |title=Sumatriptan-naproxen for acute treatment of migraine: a randomized trial |journal=JAMA |volume=297 |issue=13 |pages=1443–54 |date=April 2007|pmid=17405970 |doi=10.1001/jama.297.13.1443 |url=http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=17405970}}</ref>
