Headset

Product Overview

Headset is a medication combining two active ingredients, Sumatriptan (85mg) and Naproxen (500mg), in a tablet form. This combination medication is designed to provide relief from migraine headaches. By combining the effects of sumatriptan, a serotonin receptor agonist, and naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), Headset offers a comprehensive approach to migraine treatment by targeting both the vascular and inflammatory components of migraine attacks.

Uses

Headset is primarily used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with or without aura in adults. Migraines are severe headaches often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. The combination of sumatriptan and naproxen in Headset works to alleviate migraine symptoms by constricting blood vessels in the brain and reducing inflammation.

How to Use

Take Headset tablets by mouth with a full glass of water as soon as migraine symptoms appear. The recommended dose is one tablet, as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If the headache recurs after an initial improvement, a second tablet may be taken at least 2 hours after the first dose, not exceeding a total daily dose of 2 tablets. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablets, as this may affect their effectiveness.

How it Works

Sumatriptan in Headset acts as a selective agonist of serotonin receptors in the brain, causing the blood vessels to constrict. This helps to reduce the swelling of blood vessels surrounding the brain, which is believed to be a contributing factor in migraines. Naproxen, on the other hand, is an NSAID that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that play a role in inflammation and pain. Together, these two medications provide relief from migraine symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Headset is one tablet taken at the onset of migraine symptoms. If needed, a second tablet may be taken after 2 hours, not exceeding two tablets in a 24-hour period. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage, as this may increase the risk of side effects. If migraine symptoms persist or worsen after taking Headset, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
