What is Snapit Tablet?
Snapit Tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients, sumatriptan, and naproxen. Sumatriptan is a type of medication called a triptan that is used to treat migraines and cluster headaches by constricting blood vessels in the brain. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for Pain Relief and inflammation. It is also sold under the brand name Treximet. Snapit Tablet acts as Dual-action headache treatment medicine.
Together, sumatriptan and naproxen work to relieve the symptoms of migraines, including headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. This medication is taken as soon as the symptoms of a migraine begin, and should not be used to prevent migraines or on a regular basis for other types of pain. As with all medications, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions and read the medication guide provided with the medication.
How Sumatriptan and Naproxen work?
Sumatriptan and naproxen work in different ways in the body, but together they help relieve the symptoms of migraines.
Sumatriptan is a type of medication called triptan, which works by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain. When serotonin levels are high, blood vessels in the brain can become dilated, which can cause migraine headaches. Sumatriptan binds to the serotonin receptors, causing blood vessels in the brain to constrict and reducing the symptoms of a migraine.
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that causes inflammation and pain. By reducing inflammation and pain, naproxen acts as a migraine relief tablet and headaches.
Together, sumatriptan and naproxen work synergistically to provide greater relief than either medication alone. Sumatriptan constricts the blood vessels in the brain, reducing the headache and other symptoms of the migraine, while naproxen reduces inflammation and pain throughout the body.
