Snapit 85mg/500mg Tablet

Description

Snapit 85mg/500mg Tablet is a combination medicine containing Sumatriptan (a selective serotonin receptor agonist) and Naproxen (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAID). It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of acute migraine attacks with or without aura. This dual-action formulation not only provides fast relief from headache but also reduces associated symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light/sound, and prevents recurrence within the same attack.

Composition:

• Sumatriptan (85mg): Narrows dilated blood vessels in the brain and reduces release of pain-causing substances.

• Naproxen (500mg): Reduces pain and inflammation by blocking prostaglandin production.

Indications / Uses:
Snapit Tablet is used for:

• Acute treatment of migraine attacks

• Relief from migraine-associated symptoms such as nausea, photophobia (light sensitivity), and phonophobia (sound sensitivity)

• Reducing risk of headache recurrence during the same episode

How It Works:

• Sumatriptan works by stimulating serotonin (5-HT1) receptors in the brain, causing constriction of blood vessels and stopping pain signals.

• Naproxen complements this action by reducing inflammation and pain intensity, providing longer-lasting relief.

Dosage & Administration:

• Should be taken as soon as migraine symptoms appear, or as prescribed by the doctor.

• Swallow with water, with or without food.

• Not meant for preventing migraines or for regular pain relief.

• Dosage should not be exceeded, as both components can cause side effects in higher amounts.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:

• Dizziness, drowsiness, or fatigue

• Nausea, stomach upset, or indigestion

• Dry mouth

• Flushing or tingling sensations
  Rare but serious: chest pain, irregular heartbeat, vision changes, gastrointestinal bleeding, or severe allergic reactions.

Precautions & Warnings:

• Not suitable for patients with a history of heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, stroke, or severe liver/kidney problems.

• Avoid use with other triptans, ergotamine, or frequent NSAID use.

• Should not be used as a long-term treatment – only for acute attacks.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should take only under medical supervision.

• Alcohol should be avoided, as it may worsen drowsiness or migraine triggers.

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C.

• Protect from light and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.
