FAQs about Amerge prescription refill
How does Naratriptan Work?
Naratriptan is a medication used to treat migraines by constricting blood vessels and decrease inflammation in the brain, alleviating headaches and associated symptoms. It also affects certain pain pathways in the brain to relieve migraine pain.
How long does naratriptan stay in your system?
Naratriptan, the active ingredient in Amerge, has a half-life of approximately 5-8 hours. This means it may take about 5-8 hours for half of the drug to be eliminated from your system. However, it may take a few days for naratriptan to completely clear from your body.
How long does naratriptan take to work?
Naratriptan takes about an hour to start working, but it takes around three hours to achieve its peak effects. You can take another dose of naratriptan if your migraine goes away but returns, but don't take more than 5 mg in 24 hours.
Who should avoid Amerge?
Amerge (naratriptan) should be avoided by individuals with a history of heart disease, angina, high blood pressure, or peripheral vascular disease, as it can constrict blood vessels. It should also be avoided in those with known hypersensitivity or allergy to naratriptan or its components.
What are the alternatives of Amerge?
There are several alternative medications for migraine treatment if Amerge is not suitable. Triptans like sumatriptan, rizatriptan, or zolmitriptan are commonly prescribed. Non-triptan options include NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen), preventive medications (propranolol, topiramate), and lifestyle changes like stress management and dietary modifications.
What not to take while taking Amerge?
While taking Amerge (naratriptan), avoiding the simultaneous use of other triptans or ergotamine medications is essential, as this can increase the risk of a potentially serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Combining Amerge with MAO inhibitors, a type of antidepressant, should also be avoided, as it can lead to dangerous interactions.
How to take Amerge during pregnancy?
Amerge (naratriptan) should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Minimizing medication use during pregnancy is generally recommended, and non-pharmacological approaches like rest, hydration, and relaxation techniques should be considered first for managing migraines.
What is the starting dose for Amerge?
The typical starting dose for Amerge (naratriptan) is 1 mg. In case of acute migraine symptoms 2.5 mg as a single dose can be taken and the dose can be repeated in 4 hours, but the maximum recommended dose within 24 hours is 5mg.
