It is important to note that migraine pain is a specific type of pain. It is caused by peculiarities in the metabolism of serotonin in the brain. When platelets break down rapidly, there is initially an excess of serotonin, followed by a deficiency. As a result, a person's blood vessels first constrict sharply (causing what is known as a spasm) and then dilate.
A migraine is a severe, pulsating pain, usually affecting one side of the head. It is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise.
Migraines can last for hours or even days and can be so unbearable that the person cannot even get out of bed.
An aura often precedes migraine attacks. This can include flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling/numbness in the face, arm, or leg, and loss of smell.
Migraines need to be treated with specific medications designed for them. In Indonesia, there is a medication for migraines called TRIPTAGIC, which contains Sumatriptan.
Sumatriptan belongs to the class of serotonergic agents. This group includes medications that interact with specific serotonin or 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) receptors.
