Description:
Treximet is a tablet containing a combination of sumatriptan and naproxen.
Sumatriptan is a headache medicine. It is believed to work by narrowing the blood vessels around the brain. Sumatriptan also reduces substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.
Naproxen is in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Naproxen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
Treximet is used to treat migraine headaches.
Treximet will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks. Treximet should not be used to treat a migraine that causes visual aura (such as flickering lights) with weakness on one side of the body, speech problems, ringing in your ears.
