When appointing Trimigrena® , as well as any triptans, should be limited to the minimally effective single dose, the frequency of reception no more than 10 days for 1 month, take into account significant drug interactions (see the section "Interaction ...").
Trimigren® can not be used for preventive purposes.
The purpose of the drug is possible only if the diagnosis is not in doubt, with a frequency of seizures at least five per year.
With such forms of migraine, as hemiplegic, basilar, ophthalmoplegic, triptans, including Trimigren®, are contraindicated.In order to prevent misuse of the drug, a description of the characteristic symptoms of these migraine forms is given below. It should be remembered that the diagnosis of migraines with the establishment of its form is capable only of a doctor who has a special qualification. Do not use the following information for self-diagnosis. The hemiplegic form is accompanied by motor and sensory impairments (difficulty in movement, slight weakness, awkwardness in the hand, impaired sensitivity up to paralysis), speech disorder. Basilar migraine is manifested by severe dizziness, disturbance of balance and coordination of movements (ataxia), noise in the ears, blindness to both eyes, pronunciation disorder (dysarthria), numbness, tingling, burning (paresthesia) in the extremities, sometimes short-term (15-20 seconds ) loss of consciousness. It occurs in girls during puberty. For ophthalmoplegic migraine, one-sided ptosis (ovulation of the upper eyelid), double vision (diplopia), dilated pupil on the side of pain, strabismus are characteristic. When prescribed to patients with a previously unidentified migraine or in patients with atypicalmigraine, you must exclude other serious neurological conditions (as with the use of other anti-migraine drugs). It should be borne in mind that in patients with migraine increased risk of cerebrovascular disorders, such as stroke and transient ischemic attack.
Patients with risk factors for coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular pathologies, in particular women in natural or surgical menopause, men over the age of 40, sumatriptan can be prescribed only after a preliminary examination, excluding contraindications from the cardiovascular system. Risk factors for complications from the cardiovascular system are hypercholesterolemia, smoking, obesity, diabetes mellitus, a burdened family history (the onset of heart disease in a father / brother under the age of 55, in a mother / sister under the age of 65). An increased risk of developing cardiac complications is when three or more of the above factors are combined. After applying sumatriptan in any dosage forms, including Trimigren® suppositories rectal, it is possible to develop a side effect - pain and / or a feeling of squeezing in the throat or chest. Such a reaction can last from 30 minutes to 2 hours.If the pain in the chest lasts longer, you must immediately seek medical attention, since prolonged chest pain may be a sign of coronary spasm and ischemia of the heart.
For women taking oral contraceptives, Trimigren ® should only be taken after consultation with a doctor. Special care should be taken by patients with migraine with aura, with a short history of migraine (less than 3 months) and in case of worsening of migraine symptoms.
During the treatment it is necessary to observe a diet, exclude products containing tyramine (chocolate, cocoa, nuts, citrus, beans, tomatoes, celery, cheeses), as well as alcoholic beverages (including dry, especially red, wine, champagne, beer ). When hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, the risk of developing allergic reactions is increased.
If Trimigrene® does not eliminate the headache, then "normal" analgesics may be used.
The abuse of Trimigren ®, as well as other anti-migraine drugs, leads to a chronic, so-called "abusus" headache. Abuzusnye headaches are eliminated by cancellation of the drug.
It is necessary to see a doctor in the following cases:
- If a migraine attack lasts more than 24 hours, as in the case of more than four attacks per month.
- If there are changes in the habitual symptoms of migraine, for example, the intensity of pain increased, the frequency of seizures increased, or any symptoms stop completely, despite taking medications.
- If paroxysmal headaches first appeared at the age of over 50.
- If taking Trimigren® did not eliminate the headache and it took an anesthetic.
