Sumatriptan belongs to a family of medicines called triptans. Triptans are a second-line treatment for migraines. They are used only when required and when traditional painkillers (e.g ibuprofen, paracetamol) are not effective at treating your migraine. Triptans like sumatriptan seem to work to reverse these temporary changes in the brain. They are thought to work by causing a narrowing of the blood vessels of the brain, which may swell during a migraine.
