Imitrex is used for the treatment of acute migraine headaches with or without aura (flashing lights, wavy lines, dark spots) in adults. It should not be used to prevent migraines or cluster headaches.
It works by narrowing the blood vessels around the brain and also reduces the substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.
