FAQs

Q. I have been prescribed SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION. Can I take other migraine medicines, similar to SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION, with it?

SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION belongs to a family of tryptamine-based drugs called Triptans. You should not take another triptan along with SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION. Taking two triptans together may trigger a heart attack and may also result in an increase in blood pressure.

Q. Does migraine run in families?

Migraines may run in families. Migraines occur more often in women than men. It has been noticed that some women, but not all, have fewer migraines when they are pregnant.

Q. How do I know migraine attack is about to start?

Some people develop aura before getting a migraine attack. It may include visual problems, such as seeing flashing lights, zig-zag patterns or blind spots, numbness, dizziness, or a tingling sensation like pins and needles, or feeling off balance. You may also have difficulty speaking and loss of consciousness, although this is unusual.

Q. Can I take SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION with propranolol?

Yes, you can take propranolol and SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION together. However, since Propranolol may cause an increase in levels of SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION, so you should take 5 mg dose of SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION and not 10 mg.

Q. When should I start taking the medicines used to prevent migraine?

Medicines for prevention of migraine are usually used if you have tried avoiding possible triggers but are still experiencing migraines. You may also be prescribed these medicines if you experience very severe migraine attacks, or if your attacks happen frequently.

Q. Can SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION cause liver damage?

No, SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION does not cause liver damage, but you should let your doctor know if you have any liver problem, before taking SUMINAT AUTO INJECTION.
