Naratriptan is a medicine that is used to treat migraine. It belongs to the group of vasoconstrictors and is homogeneous in nature. Naratriptan increases the blood supply to the brain, which can help with the relief of migraine symptoms. Naratriptan also works by binding to 5-HT1 receptors in the body and has been shown to be effective for treating migraines. Naratriptan does not have any effects on histamine release or substance P release from nerve endings, which are substances that contribute to inflammation and pain in people who suffer from migraines.
