Amerge Information:
Amerge (generic name: Naratriptan) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of migraine symptoms. The active ingredient in Amerge is Naratriptan. Naratriptan works by reducing the swelling of blood vessels surrounding the brain. The swelling is what causes the immense pain when a migraine occurs. Amerge also blocks the release of substances from nerve endings that cause more pain, and interrupts the sending of certain pain ‘messages’ within the brain. Amerge is not directed for common headaches, it is only for the treatment of migraines. Amerge cannot prevent future migraine attacks but it can be taken once a migraine has started and it works in less than an hour for fast relief of the symptoms, which may include severe headache, sensitivity to light, fatigue. The relevant dosage will be prescribed depending on the severity of the individual patient’s migraine attacks. Migraines can be crippling for some patients and can affect work and personal life, but Amerge can help to live a more normal lifestyle.
Amerge Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Amerge including nausea, pressure or heavy feeling in the body, pain or tightness in the jaw/neck/throat, dizziness, drowsiness, weakness and tingling in parts of the body. More serious side effects may include pain in the chest, heavy or tight feeling in the chest, sudden numbness or weakness, sudden headache, confusion, changes in vision, changes in speech or balance, numbness or tingling, pale/blueish coloured fingers or toes, agitation, high fever, sweating, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If you experience any side effects you must seek medical attention immediately for safety.
Amerge Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed Amerge to you. Directions and dosage information can also be found on the pack or leaflet inside the pack. Amerge comes in tablet form. You should swallow Amerge whole with a glass of water. Do not break, crush or chew tablets as this may result in too much of the drug being released at once, which may have undesirable effects. Amerge should be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat.
Amerge Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Amerge, you should avoid taking it and inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions including liver or kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, any heart disorder, coronary artery disease, angina, circulation problems, history of stroke, ischemic bowel disease, severe/uncontrolled high blood pressure and unusually severe headaches. You must consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications as they may interact with Amerge, including any antidepressant medications. You should also discuss with your doctor if you are on antidepressants as taking Amerge with antidepressants can increase the risk of severe side effects. It is important that you inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding as Amerge may cause harm to unborn and new born babies.
