It may also cause sleepiness at the beginning of your treatment, so do not drive, operate machinery, until you know how this medicine affects you.

How Suminat Tablet works
Migraine headaches are thought to result from the dilatation (swelling) of blood vessels in the head.

This relieves the migraine attack.
