Product Overview
Leemigran is a prescription medication containing Sumatriptan Succinate as its active ingredient. It is classified as a triptan and is primarily used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches. Leemigran works by constricting blood vessels in the brain and inhibiting the release of natural substances responsible for migraine symptoms, including pain, nausea, and heightened sensitivity to light and sound.
Uses
Leemigran is prescribed for the relief of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. It effectively alleviates symptoms such as severe headache, nausea, vomiting, and photophobia (light sensitivity) or phonophobia (sound sensitivity). Note that Leemigran is not intended for migraine prevention or the treatment of cluster headaches.
How to Use
Take Leemigran as soon as migraine symptoms develop. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water—do not crush, chew, or split them. If symptoms persist or recur after the initial dose, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours later, as directed by your physician. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage without medical advice.
How It Works
Sumatriptan, the active component of Leemigran, binds to serotonin (5-HT1) receptors in the brain. This action triggers vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and reduces the release of inflammatory neuropeptides involved in migraine attacks. By addressing these mechanisms, Leemigran helps relieve headache pain and associated symptoms.
Dosage and Administration
The standard dose for migraine treatment is 50 mg or 100 mg taken orally. If symptoms do not subside after the first dose, a second dose (same strength) may be administered after a minimum 2-hour interval. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 200 mg within 24 hours. Strictly adhere to your doctor’s instructions to ensure safety and efficacy.
Benefits
Leemigran provides rapid relief from debilitating migraine symptoms, restoring comfort and functionality during an attack. Its targeted action helps reduce headache intensity, nausea, and sensory sensitivities, improving overall quality of life for migraine sufferers.
Common Side Effects
Mild and transient side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, flushing, tingling/numbness, or localized reactions (if using injectable forms). Consult your doctor if these persist or worsen. Rare but serious side effects (e.g., chest pain, shortness of breath, stroke-like symptoms) require immediate medical attention.
Warnings
Inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions, particularly cardiovascular disease, hypertension, or stroke history. Disclose all medications (including supplements/herbal products) to avoid interactions. Leemigran is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic/renal impairment and certain other health conditions.
