Generic Imitrex vs Brand Imitrex
Are you getting a headache from deciding between brand and generic? Fact is, brand and generics are chemically and therapeutically exactly the same, only difference is the manufacturer. According to the FDA, generic drugs must be identical or within an acceptable bio-equivalent range to the brand. Imitrex is manufactured by GSK and its generic counter part is manufactured outside a GSK facility. Rest assured that Blue Sky Drugs only provides the highest quality generics from manufacturers that hold an FDA rating.

How Sumatriptan Works
Sumatriptan belongs to a class called “triptans” whose main function is to relieve migraine headaches. Triptans work by constricting blood vessels inside the head that cause pain when they are dilated. In most individuals Sumatriptan works within 10 to 15 minutes relieving headache, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. Sumatriptan is to be taken exactly as your doctor prescribed as it is not for everyone.
