AURAFREE TAB

About

AURAFREE TAB is a medication specifically formulated for the acute treatment of migraine attacks, particularly those accompanied by aura. It typically contains a triptan, such as Sumatriptan, which is a selective serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist. This class of drugs works by constricting dilated intracranial blood vessels and inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides, thereby reversing the physiological changes associated with a migraine attack. By targeting the underlying mechanisms of migraine, AURAFREE TAB provides effective relief from headache pain and associated symptoms like nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia, helping patients regain functionality during an attack.
