A member asked:
How often can i take imitrex (sumatriptan) for migraine (per week) and what alternatives are there if i've already taken the maximum number of recommended doses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one knows: Safety not established for treating more than 4 headaches/month. Most per day is 200mg, with great care not to case a heart attack. And if liver disease present, only allowed 50 mg/day. Consider occipital nerve block/radiofrequency if successful.
