Amerge®/Naramig® (naratriptan) is a migraine headache medication that works by narrowing the blood vessels around the brain. It also reduces substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms. This drug works on active headaches and does not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks. Ask our pharmacist for more information about Feverfew, a natural remedy that can reduce the severity and frequency of migraines.
