What are Narmig tablets?
Naramig are migraine tablets that contain the active ingredient naratriptan, which is a type of medicine called a serotonin agonist. This medication or triptans fight the symptoms that are common in migraine attacks. The active substance in Naramig, naratriptan helps to improve the operation of blood vessels and nerves in the brain, which reduces the symptoms of sickness, headache and other discomfort associated with migraines. Currently, the cause of migraine attacks is not fully understood by medical professionals. However, many experts believe that widening blood vessels in the brain leads to serious throbbing pain. Naratriptan and substances like it can relieve this pain by causing blood vessels in the brain to narrow. The substance works by stimulating the 5HT or serotonin receptors in the brain. A natural substance known as serotonin in the body will typically act on these receptors, causing blood vessels to narrow automatically, however, this does not always happen as it should, which is when migraines usually occur. Naramig is intended to respond immediately to a migraine attack, which means that your doctor will ask you to take your tablet as soon as possible after your headache has begun. This medication can also be effective when taken at later stages of a migraine attack.
What are Narmig tablets used for?
It is important to note Naramig is not intended to treat common headaches caused by tension or stress. It cannot assist with headaches that cause loss of movement on one side of the body, or any other headache that may appear to cause symptoms that are not typical to the experience you usually have with a migraine. Naramig is only intended for use with migraines.
If you have a migraine you may experience several symptoms, including a severe headache that is often on one side of the head. Other symptoms like hypersensitivity to light, nausea and a general feeling of sickness are common. Some people find that they are unable to see properly when they have a migraine. Distorted images and stars can blur the vision and make it difficult to see normally. Some migraine attacks may last a couple of minutes, while others last for several days. Naramig will only help to treat a headache that has already begun and will not prevent your headaches or reduce the number of attacks that you have. However, it can reduce the substances in the body that trigger additional pain and sensitivity when a migraine starts.
How to use Narmig tablets for migraines
Before you start taking Naramig, make sure that you read the printed instructions provided by the manufacturer carefully (there is also a patient leaflet attached below), and ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions if you are unsure about the instructions given. The best time to take this medication is as soon as you feel a migraine headache coming on. Some people can predict when they’re about to get a migraine as they get blurred vision or slight pain in their head.
Take this drug as your doctor tells you. Usually, you will be required to take one tablet as soon as you begin to feel a migraine develop. You can take these pills with a drink of water and it is not necessary to take them with food. Swallow the tablet without chewing, and you should get relief relatively quickly after the substance enters your system. If your migraine appears to improve at first but eventually worsens, you may be able to take another tablet as long as it is at least four hours after you took your first pill. If your migraine does not ease after the first dose, do not take additional tablets to try and counteract the symptoms before four hours have passed. Do not take more than 2 tablets of Naramig in 24 hours. If your condition does not improve when you are taking Naramig, or you are beginning to take this medication too often, speak to your doctor, as there may be additional underlying health reasons for your headaches. The medication should have an effect within an hour of taking it.
What is the correct dosage for Narmig migraine tablets?

Does Narmig have any side effects?
All medications can sometimes unfortunately cause side effects. Many of the most common side effects associated with substances like Naramig are temporary.

Some people also notice tingling or a sensation of heat in various parts of their body, including the throat and chest.
If you are nauseous and are sick when taking Naramig, do not take another tablet in case you have vomited the naratriptan dose. The chances are that some of the substance will already be in your system.
