Sandoz is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Each Sumatriptan Sandoz tablet contains a single dose<\/strong>&nbsp;of sumatriptan, which belongs to a group of medicines called triptans (also called&nbsp;5-HT&nbsp;<sub>1<\/sub>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;receptor agonists&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sumatriptan Sandoz is a medicine used in the treatment of&nbsp;acute&nbsp;migraine<\/strong>&nbsp;, with or without&nbsp;aura&nbsp;(a sensation that usually consists of visual disturbances such as flashes, zigzag lines, stars or waves).&nbsp;Sumatriptan Sandoz should only be used when you have signs or symptoms of a migraine attack.&nbsp;Migraine headaches are usually of moderate to severe&nbsp;intensity&nbsp;, unilateral (but can switch sides between attacks) and have a pulsating character.&nbsp;Symptoms such as nausea, sometimes vomiting, and significant sensitivity to light and sound are common in&nbsp;migraines&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The migraine symptoms<\/strong>&nbsp;are probably caused by a temporary dilation of the blood vessels in the head.&nbsp;Sumatriptan Sandoz is thought to reduce the dilation of these blood vessels.&nbsp;This contributes to the disappearance of the headache as well as other migraine symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sumatriptan Sandoz is not intended for the treatment of other types of headache, such as tension headache.<br><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to

have recurring headaches such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>has a pulsating character and is one-sided<\/li><li>has moderate to strong&nbsp;intensity&nbsp;and lasts for 4-72 hours<\/li><li>worsens with normal physical activity (eg walking or climbing stairs)<\/li><li>affects your ability to concentrate and your daily tasks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Migraine&nbsp;can be accompanied by other symptoms such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nausea, sensitivity to light and sound<\/li><li>Aura symptoms, for example visual field loss, zigzag patterns or flashes in the&nbsp;visual field&nbsp;, and less often numbness or speech difficulties.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult a doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure or need more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

of heart disease.&nbsp;If any of the above risk factors apply to you, it may mean that you have a greater risk of developing heart disease:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, you should&nbsp;<strong>tell your doctor about it<\/strong>&nbsp;so that your heart function can be checked before treatment with Sumatriptan Sandoz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have previously had

Sandoz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you feel pain or tightness in your chest after using Sumatriptan Sandoz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These symptoms can be intense, but they usually disappear quickly.&nbsp;If they do not go away quickly or if they get worse:&nbsp;<strong>Get medical help immediately<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;In section 4 of this leaflet there is more information about these possible&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sumatriptan Sandoz tablets are not recommended for use in children or
