Sumatriptan Teva Dosage/Direction for Use

Always take Sumatriptan Teva exactly as told by the doctor. Check with the doctor or pharmacist if unsure.
Sumatriptan Teva must not be taken to prevent migraine attacks, because it is intended to treat migraine attacks. Sumatriptan Teva must be taken as soon as possible after the migraine headache appears; however, it is equally effective when taken at a later stage of the attack.
The usual dose for adults is 50 mg. For some patients, 100 mg may be necessary. If Sumatriptan Teva does not bring immediate relief, it is not beneficial to take more tablets for this attack. Sumatriptan Teva can be used for the next attack. If, after the first dose, the migraine goes away but then returns, another tablet may be taken, provided it is at least two hours since the first tablet was taken.
Do not take more than 300 mg (six 50 mg tablets, or three 100 mg tablets) in 24 hours. The use of Sumatriptan Teva in children, adolescents and patients over 65 years is not recommended. For patients with mild to moderate liver impairment, low doses of 25-50 mg should be considered. Swallow the tablet whole with some water.
