Migard is used to treat migraine attacks, a neurological condition that affects around 1 in 7 people in the UK, often causing throbbing headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound.
The active ingredient in Migard is sumatriptan, part of a group of medicines known as triptans.
- Sumatriptan
- Targets serotonin (5-HT1) receptors
Patients often choose sumatriptan based treatments like Migard for their targeted action during migraine episodes. Experiences can vary depending on individual triggers, timing of use and overall health.
You should always read the official Patient Information Leaflet supplied with Migard for full details on how to use it safely and effectively.
Migard works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and affecting serotonin pathways involved in migraine symptoms, helping reduce headache intensity and associated effects.
Take Migard as soon as migraine symptoms begin, following the guidance provided by your prescriber and the patient leaflet.
The dosage of Migard depends on individual clinical advice. Always follow the prescribed instructions.
Like all medicines, Migard may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

Migard may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain cardiovascular conditions or risk factors. Always disclose your full medical history during consultation.
