Imigran contains the active ingredient sumatriptan, which is a type of medicine called a serotonin agonist. This type of medicine is also commonly known as a triptan. It is a painkiller specifically used to relieve migraine attacks.

Although the cause of migraine attacks is not fully understood, it is thought that widening of blood vessels in the brain causes the throbbing pain of migraine headaches. Sumatriptan relieves this pain by causing the blood vessels in the brain to narrow.

Sumatriptan works by mimicking the action of serotonin by directly stimulating the serotonin receptors in the brain. This narrows the blood vessels and so relieves the pain of migraine headaches.
