About Generic Medicine

Generic drugs are copies of brand-name drugs that have exactly the same dosage, intended use, effects, side effects, route of administration, risks, safety, and strength as the original drug. The European Medicines Agency and the MHRA in the UK are responsible for ensuring the quality of both generic and branded medication. Purchasing a generic medication from a reputable and fully regulated pharmacist is every bit as safe as a brand-name drug.

Description

The maximum daily dosage of Sumatriptan is 300 milligrams. This is equivalent to either six 50mg tablets a day or three 100mg capsules a day. Do not exceed more than 300mg of Sumatriptan within a 24 hour window.

Sumatriptan is not dependent on food, so you can take it with or without food alongside.

You should consume 50mg of Sumatriptan as soon as possible once your symptoms flare up. Do not take it before any symptoms have occurred as it is not a preventative medication and will therefore not stop the migraine from occurring.

If after your first dose your symptoms are reduced, but later return, you may take a second dose at least two hours following on from your first. If the first tablet has no effect on your symptoms, do not take another dose.

Before taking Sumatriptan, consult the enclosed patient information leaflet. Sumatriptan is suitable for anybody over the age of 18 who is suffering with migraines.
