Sumatec Plus Tablets

Sumatec Plus Tablets is a tablet made by Platinum Pharmaceuticals Ltd that contains Sumatriptan + Naproxen, a triptan and anti-inflammatory combination for migraine. It is used for migraine attacks. Pack size: 2s.

Uses of Sumatec Plus Tablets

Sumatec Plus Tablets is used to treat migraine attacks, with or without aura, once the headache has started. Combining a triptan with an anti-inflammatory painkiller can help some people whose migraines do not respond well to either medicine alone. It treats individual attacks and is not used to prevent migraine or for other types of headache.

How Sumatec Plus Tablets works

Sumatriptan acts on serotonin (5-HT1) receptors around the brain’s blood vessels and nerves, narrowing widened vessels and blocking the release of pain chemicals. Naproxen is an NSAID that reduces prostaglandins, the chemicals that drive inflammation and pain.
