Suminat 25mg is useful in treating migraine attacks with or without aura. It is not effective in treating other types of headache. It has been demonstrated that a migraine may be caused by the temporary widening of blood vessels in the head. The administration of Suminat reduces the widening of these blood vessels. This action helps relieve a headache and other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
The medicine has the active ingredient Sumatriptan, which falls into the category of drugs called 5Ht1 receptor agonists that are designed to treat a migraine. Remember, the medicine cannot prevent a migraine attack. The medication should be used only if a clear diagnosis of migraine headache has been established. If a patient does not respond to the first migraine attack treated with Suminat, the diagnosis of migraine should be confirmed before the medication is given to treat any subsequent attacks. The medication is not recommended for preventing asthma attacks. It is always advised that these antimigraine tablets be given as early as possible after the onset of a migraine attack. Suminat is equally effective at any stage of the attack.
For children under 12 years of age, Suminat is not recommended for use in children below 12 years of age, as this antimigraine medication, Sumatriptan, has not been studied in children. The use in adolescents is also not recommended. Antimigraine medication should be administered with caution to patients. Suminat 25 is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Sumatriptan or to any of its components. It should not be given to patients who have had a myocardial infarction. The safety and effectiveness of the medication have not been established for the treatment of cluster headache. Concurrent use of dihydroergotamine and ergotamine may cause vasospastic reactions.
Do not use Suminat with other 5-HT1 agonists. Concurrent use with MAO inhibitors may increase levels, hence contraindicated. Suminat tablets must not be used within two weeks of discontinuing treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Sumatriptan should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Coadministration of Suminat with St. John’s wort may increase the risk of serotonergic side effects.
Also, Suminat is contraindicated in the following conditions:
- Ischemic heart disease
- Hypersensitivity
- Signs and Symptoms of Ischemic Heart Disease
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- Prinzmetal’s angina
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Concurrent MAO inhibitor therapy
- Severe hepatic impairment
- Hemiplegic or basilar migraine
- Excessive risk of cardiovascular complications in geriatric patients
Use Suminat with caution in certain situations, including pregnancy, lactation, cardiovascular risk factors, obesity, smoking, diabetes mellitus, family history, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and women in a menopausal state.

The recommended dose of oral Suminat (Sumatriptan) is one 50 mg tablet. If a patient does not respond to the first dose of Sumatriptan, a second dose should not be considered for the same attack. These antimigraine tablets are meant to be taken for subsequent attacks. If the patient responded to the first dose, but the symptoms recur, a second dose may be administered in the next 24 hours. Here, it is important to note that there is a minimum interval of two hours between doses and that no more than 300mg is taken in any 24 hours. The tablet should be swallowed with a glass of water. Generally, doses of 25 to 50 mg should be considered for patients with mild to moderate liver impairment.
Take Suminat exactly as directed by your healthcare specialist. If you have any doubt about the usage of the medicine, please check with your physician. Your healthcare provider will determine the dose that best suits you after evaluating your condition. Never exceed the recommended dose of Sumatriptan. Prolonged use of any painkillers for headaches can make the condition worse. Food does not affect Suminat; it can be taken before or after meals. Swallow it with a glass of water. The medicine should be taken at the first sign of a migraine attack, but may also be taken during an ongoing attack. Note that the medicine should not be used as a preventive measure. Suminat 25mg should be taken continuously for as long as your physician recommends.
