Imitrex (sumatriptan) works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing the release of certain chemicals that trigger migraines. It helps to relieve symptoms such as headache, nausea, sensitivity to light/sound, and other migraine symptoms. Imetrex is most effective when taken early in a migraine attack.
