Sumaself 6 mg Injection

Sumaself 6 mg Injection belongs to a class of medicines called selective serotonin receptor agonists primarily used to treat acute migraine headaches with or without aura and acute cluster headaches in adults. Aura is a phase before the start of a migraine headache that involves numbness and speech or vision disorders. Migraine is a common disorder associated with multiple symptoms but frequently causes headache of varying intensity, usually along with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
