Overview

Apo-Sumatriptan 50mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Sumatriptan 50mg (as sumatriptan succinate). It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Apo-Sumatriptan 50mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Swallow Apo-Sumatriptan 50mg Tablet whole with water at the first sign of a migraine headache (it may be less effective if taken during the aura, before the headache begins). Do not take more than the maximum number of tablets in 24 hours advised by your doctor, and rest in a quiet, dark room if possible after taking it.

Dosage

The usual dose of Apo-Sumatriptan 50mg Tablet is one tablet taken as soon as possible after a migraine attack starts. If the migraine improves but returns, a second dose may be taken after at least 2 hours, up to the maximum daily dose your doctor has advised. This medicine is for treating an attack that has already started, not for preventing migraines.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Dizziness or drowsiness
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Flushing or feeling hot
  • Chest tightness or pressure
  • Nausea or dry mouth

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to sumatriptan
  • Ischaemic heart disease, previous heart attack, or coronary artery vasospasm
  • History of stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure
  • Use of ergotamine-type medicines or another triptan within the last 24 hours

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Ergotamine or ergot-type medicines must not be taken within 24 hours of sumatriptan due to prolonged vasoconstriction risk
  • MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) can significantly increase sumatriptan levels and must be avoided
  • SSRIs and SNRIs (certain antidepressants) taken together may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome
  • Other triptans should not be used within 24 hours of each other

Quick Tips

  • Take this medicine as soon as migraine symptoms begin for the best effect
  • Do not use it to prevent a migraine before symptoms start
  • Keep track of how often you use it, as overuse of migraine medicines can lead to medication-overuse headache
  • Seek medical advice if your migraine pattern changes or attacks become more frequent
