Imigran Recovery For Migraine - 2 Tablets

Imigran Recovery is used to treat migraine. These tablets contain sumatriptan, which belongs to a group of medicines called triptans.

Migraine symptoms may be caused by the temporary swelling of blood vessels in the head due to a temporary imbalance in the body's natural chemicals. Imigran Recovery tablets are believed to work on this imbalance and reduce the swelling of these blood vessels.

Imigran helps to take away the headache and other symptoms of a migraine attack such as feeling sick (nausea) and sensitivity to light and sound.

Please note that it maybe necessary for a professionally trained member of staff to contact you via telephone on your first purchase of Imigran, to ensure that Imigran meets your health needs.
