Suvexx Migraine Tablets 85mg/457mg

Suvexx is a unique combination therapy containing two active ingredients: Sumatriptan (85mg) and Naproxen (457mg). It is licensed for the acute treatment of migraines with or without aura. This "two-in-one" approach is often more effective than taking the components separately, as the ingredients are formulated to work in synergy.

Suvexx targets a migraine from two different biological angles:

• Sumatriptan: A "triptan" that works by narrowing the widened blood vessels in the brain that cause throbbing pain.
• Naproxen: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces the production of prostaglandins, easing the inflammation, swelling, and irritation around the nerves. Together, they halt the pain signals and address the underlying inflammatory process of the migraine.

• Timing: Take one tablet as soon as possible after your migraine symptoms begin.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• Dose: The recommended dose is one tablet per attack.
• Note: Do not use Suvexx to prevent a migraine; it is only effective once an attack has started.
• Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol when taking Suvexx, as it can increase the risk of stomach irritation and drowsiness.

As Suvexx contains two active medicines, you may experience side effects related to either, including:

• Dizziness, light-headedness, or drowsiness
• Nausea, vomiting, or heartburn
• Stomach pain, diarrhoea, or constipation
• Flushing or tingling sensations
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)

If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, or black/tarry stools (a sign of stomach bleeding), seek medical help immediately.

• Cardiovascular Health: Not suitable for those with coronary artery disease, history of stroke, peripheral vascular disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• Organ Function: Not recommended for patients with significantly reduced heart, kidney, or liver function.
• Stomach Health: Use with caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease due to the naproxen content.
• Interactions: Do not take with other triptans or other NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Aspirin). Inform your prescriber if you take antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs).
• Age Limit: Suitable for adults aged 18 and over.
