Research and analysis of clinical and postmarketing data sumatriptan allowed to identify the following undesirable reactions depending on the anatomical and physiological classification and frequency of occurrence. The frequency is defined as follows: very often (> 1/10); often (> 1/100 and <1/10); sometimes (> 1/1000 and <1/100); rarely (> 1/10 000 and <1/1000); very rarely <1/10 000), including individual cases.
Analysis of clinical trials:
From the nervous system: often - dizziness, drowsiness, sensitivity disorders, including paresthesia and decreased sensitivity.
From the side of the cardiovascular system, often - a transient increase in blood pressure (soon after taking the drug), hot flashes.
From the respiratory and thoracic organs: often - shortness of breath; light, transient irritation of the mucosa or burning sensation in the nasal cavity or throat, nosebleeds.
From the gastrointestinal tract: often - nausea, vomiting (cause-and-effect relationship is not proven).
From the side of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue: often - a feeling of heaviness (usually transient, can be intense and occur in any part of the body, including the chest and throat).
General and local reactions: often - pain, a feeling of cold or heat, a feeling of pressure or constriction (usually transient, can be intense and occur in any part of the body, including the chest and throat). Often - weakness, fatigue (usually mild or moderately expressed, transient).
Laboratory indicators: very rarely - slight deviations in liver function tests.
Analysis of postmarketing observations:
From the immune system: very rarely - hypersensitivity reactions, including skin manifestations, as well as anaphylaxis.
From the nervous system: very rarely convulsive seizures (in a number of cases observed in patients with convulsive episodes in the anamnesis or with concomitant conditions predisposing to the onset of seizures, some patients did not have risk factors), tremor, dystonia, nystagmus, scotoma.
From the side of the organs of sight: very rarely - flashing, diplopia, reduced visual acuity. Blindness (usually transient).However, visual disturbances can be caused by the actual migraine attack.
From the side of the cardiovascular system: very rarely - bradycardia, tachycardia, flutter, arrhythmias, transient changes in the ECG, coronary vasospasm, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction. Very rarely - hypotension, Raynaud's syndrome.
From the gastrointestinal tract: very rarely - ischemic colitis, dysphagia, a feeling of discomfort in the abdomen.
