The drug should not be prescribed to patients at risk of developing the pathology of the cardiovascular system, without prior examination to exclude the disease. The first 2-3 doses should be taken under the supervision of a physician (as a spasm of the coronary arteries is possible).

In patients with hypersensitivity to sulfonamides when taking sumatriptan may develop allergic reactions that range from skin manifestations to anaphylactic shock.

If there is no effect on the first dose, the diagnosis should be clarified.

Clinical experience with the drug in patients over the age of 65 years is limited (there is no significant difference in pharmacokinetics compared with younger patients).
