Sumatriptan Selectively Binds To & Activates Serotonin 5-Ht1d Receptors In The Central Nervous System (CNS), Thereby Constricting Cerebral Blood Vessels. This May Lead To A Relief In Pain From Vascular Headaches. Sumatriptan May Also Relieve Vascular Headaches By Decreasing The Release Of Vasoactive Neuropeptides From Perivascular Trigeminal Axons In The Dura Mater During A Migraine, By Reducing Extravasation Of Plasma Proteins, And By Decreasing The Release Of Other Mediators Of Inflammation From The Trigeminal Nerve.
