Sumatriptan (85mg), Naproxen (500mg)

Sumatriptan and naproxen are combined in a medication used to treat migraine headaches. Here is a rundown of its uses, suggested dosage, and potential side effects:

1. Sumatriptan (85mg):

Uses:
Sumatriptan is a medication belonging to the class of triptans, which are used to treat migraine headaches. It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause migraine symptoms. Sumatriptan is effective in relieving migraine pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Dosage:
The typical dosage of sumatriptan in combination with naproxen is 85 mg of sumatriptan and 500 mg of naproxen taken orally at the onset of a migraine attack. If the migraine symptoms return after an initial improvement, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first dose. However, the total daily dosage of sumatriptan should not exceed 300 mg, and the total daily dosage of naproxen should not exceed 1,000 mg.

Side Effects:
Common side effects of sumatriptan may include tingling or numbness (especially in the hands or feet), dizziness, drowsiness, flushing, chest discomfort or tightness, feeling of pressure or heaviness in the chest, throat, jaw, or neck, nausea, dry mouth, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. More serious side effects are rare but can include heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and allergic reactions.

2. Naproxen (500mg):

Uses:
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, and headaches. When combined with sumatriptan, naproxen can enhance the effectiveness of migraine treatment by providing additional pain relief and reducing inflammation.

Dosage:
The typical dosage of naproxen in combination with sumatriptan is 85 mg of sumatriptan and 500 mg of naproxen taken orally at the onset of a migraine attack. The second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first dose if needed. However, the total daily dosage of naproxen should not exceed 1,000 mg.

Side Effects:
Common side effects of naproxen may include stomach upset, heartburn, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and ringing in the ears. More serious side effects such as stomach bleeding, ulcers, liver problems, kidney problems, and allergic reactions are less common but can occur.

Combination:
The combination of sumatriptan and naproxen is specifically formulated to provide comprehensive relief from migraine symptoms, including pain, inflammation, and associated symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. This combination therapy is often more effective than either medication alone in treating migraine headaches.

It's important to use sumatriptan and naproxen combination medication only as directed by your doctor and to report any side effects promptly.
