Suminat 25 Tablet contains sumatriptan (25 mg) and it works on your body in the following ways:
Selective 5-HT1 Receptor Agonism: Sumatriptan selectively binds to 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors, which are types of serotonin receptors. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in pain signalling and mood regulation in the brain.
Vasoconstriction: By binding to these receptors, sumatriptan causes constriction (narrowing) of the blood vessels in the brain. This action helps to alleviate the throbbing pain of a migraine headache.
Inhibition of Pro-Inflammatory Neuropeptide Release: Sumatriptan also inhibits the release of certain chemicals known as pro-inflammatory neuropeptides from the sensory nerves of the trigeminal system (a nerve system in the head and face). This helps to reduce inflammation and pain associated with migraines.
