Normally you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other, and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Use it regularly for as long as it has been prescribed. However, do not use it too often or longer than you have been prescribed.

Common side effects of this medicine include burning sensation, nasal discomfort, throat irritation, nausea, vomiting, taste change, dizziness, and vertigo. It may also cause sleepiness apart from dizziness in the initial phase of your treatment, so do not drive, operate machinery, until you know how this medicine affects you.

Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any heart problems, as the use of Suminat Nasal Spray is contraindicated in some heart diseases. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is required while taking this medicine. Consult your doctor and stop this medicine if you develop severe chest or stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, or significantly high blood pressure, after taking this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

How to use Suminat Nasal Spray

How Suminat Nasal Spray works

Migraine headaches are thought to result from the dilatation (swelling) of blood vessels in the head. Suminat Nasal Spray works by constricting (narrowing) the blood vessels in the head, stops transmission of pain signals to the brain, and blocks the release of chemicals that cause nausea and other migraine symptoms. This relieves the migraine attack.

Frequently asked questions

Once your migraine headache has started, take Suminat Nasal Spray as soon as possible. Do not use it to prevent an attack. Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Yes, Suminat Nasal Spray can cause an increase in blood pressure. However, it is does not occur in everyone. But, you should keep a check on your blood pressure during therapy with Suminat Nasal Spray.
If you are having frequent or daily headaches despite (or because of) the regular use of headache medications, it is suggestive of medication overuse headache. You should consult your doctor who may discontinue the medication for sometime.

No, Suminat Nasal Spray is not used for the prevention of migraine attacks. It should only be used where a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established.
Before taking Suminat Nasal Spray, you should tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, liver or kidney disease or a family history of heart disease. You should also inform your doctor if you smoke, have had your menopause, or are a man aged 40 years or more. Let your doctor know if your headache is associated with dizziness, difficulty in walking, lack of coordination or weakness in the leg and arm. Your doctor should also know if you are taking medicines to treat depression such as sertraline, escitalopram oxalate, fluoxetine, venlafaxine, or duloxetine. It is also important to inform your doctor if you have had short-lived chest pain and tightness.
Migraine may be triggered by several factors. Some of the common triggers are caffeine withdrawal, changes in hormone levels during menstruation or with the use of birth control pills. Migraine also gets triggered with changes in sleep patterns, such as not getting enough sleep, drinking alcohol, missing meals, or smoking. Rigorous exercise or other physical stress, loud noises or bright lights, odors or perfumes, or exposure to smoke and stress and anxiety may also act as a trigger.
Suminat Nasal Spray belongs to a family of tryptamine-based drugs called Triptans. You should not take another triptan along with Suminat Nasal Spray. Taking two triptans together may trigger a heart attack and may also result in an increase in blood pressure.
Migraines may run in families. Migraines occur more often in women than men. It has been noticed that some women, but not all, have fewer migraines when they are pregnant.
Some people develop aura before getting a migraine attack. It may include visual problems, such as seeing flashing lights, zig-zag patterns or blind spots, numbness, dizziness, or a tingling sensation like pins and needles, or feeling off balance. You may also have difficulty speaking and loss of consciousness, although this is unusual.
Yes, you can take propranolol and Suminat Nasal Spray together. However, since Propranolol may cause an increase in levels of Suminat Nasal Spray, so you should take 5 mg dose of Suminat Nasal Spray and not 10 mg.
Medicines for prevention of migraine are usually used if you have tried avoiding possible triggers but are still experiencing migraines. You may also be prescribed these medicines if you experience very severe migraine attacks, or if your attacks happen frequently.
No, Suminat Nasal Spray does not cause liver damage, but you should let your doctor know if you have any liver problem, before taking Suminat Nasal Spray.
