Description
How Does Naratriptan Work?
Naratriptan works by targeting specific serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT_1B and 5-HT_1D subtypes. By binding to these receptors, naratriptan causes the constriction of dilated blood vessels in the brain, a key factor in migraine attacks. It also helps to reduce the release of inflammatory substances that contribute to migraine symptoms. This combined action effectively alleviates the headache and associated symptoms of a migraine.
