Amerge contains the active ingredient naratriptan. It is a prescription medication used to treat migraine attacks in adults.
It may be used for migraines with or without aura.
Amerge is taken after a migraine attack begins. It may help relieve:
Amerge is not used to prevent migraines from occurring. It should not be taken every day unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider.
Some people experience warning symptoms before a migraine begins. This is called an aura.
Aura symptoms may include:
Amerge can be used whether or not an aura occurs.
Amerge belongs to a class of medications called triptans. These medicines act on serotonin receptors in the brain.
During a migraine, certain blood vessels and pain pathways may become activated. Amerge helps narrow these blood vessels and reduce the release of substances involved in migraine pain and inflammation.
This may help:
Amerge treats an active migraine attack, but it does not cure migraine or prevent future attacks.
Take it exactly as prescribed. Contact your healthcare provider if your migraines become more frequent, change in pattern, or do not improve with treatment.
Take Amerge exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Amerge is available as an oral tablet containing 1 mg or 2.5 mg of naratriptan.
It may be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet with water.
Amerge should be taken when migraine pain begins. It is used to treat an active migraine attack and should not be taken every day to prevent migraines.
Take your prescribed dose when you recognize that a migraine headache is starting.
Some people experience an aura before the headache begins. An aura may include flashing lights, blind spots, tingling, numbness, or difficulty speaking.
Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about whether to take Amerge during the aura or when the headache pain begins.
The recommended dose of naratriptan is usually either 1 mg or 2.5 mg taken by mouth as a single dose.
The 2.5 mg dose may provide greater relief for some people, but it may also increase the likelihood of side effects. Your healthcare provider will select the most appropriate dose based on your symptoms and medical history.
If the first dose provides some relief but the migraine does not completely go away, or if the migraine returns, you may take a second dose.
Wait at least four hours after the first dose before taking another tablet.
Do not take a second dose sooner than four hours, even if the migraine remains painful.
If the first dose does not provide any relief, do not automatically take a second dose for the same migraine attack.
Contact your healthcare provider for advice. The headache may need to be reassessed, especially if it is different from your usual migraines.
Your healthcare provider may recommend another treatment or confirm whether a second dose is appropriate for future attacks.
Do not take more than a total of 5 mg of naratriptan within 24 hours.
This means the usual maximum is:
Do not exceed the dose written on your prescription label. Taking more Amerge will not necessarily provide better relief and may increase the risk of serious side effects.
People with mild or moderate kidney or liver impairment may need a lower dose.
A common recommended starting dose in these patients is 1 mg. The maximum total dose may be limited to 2.5 mg within 24 hours.
Naratriptan may not be suitable for people with severe kidney or liver impairment. Tell your healthcare provider about any kidney or liver problems before treatment begins.
Tell your healthcare provider about all medications you use for migraines.
Do not take Amerge within 24 hours of:
Combining these medicines may cause excessive narrowing of the blood vessels and increase the risk of serious side effects.
Do not combine migraine treatments unless your healthcare provider has confirmed that it is safe.
Keep a record of:
This information can help your healthcare provider determine whether Amerge is working and whether your treatment plan needs to be changed.
Using Amerge or other short-term headache medicines too frequently may cause medication-overuse headaches.
These headaches may become more frequent or occur almost every day.
Contact your healthcare provider if you need migraine medication regularly or if your headaches become more common. Preventive migraine treatment may be needed.
Seek immediate medical care if your headache is sudden, unusually severe, or different from your typical migraine.
Emergency symptoms may include:
Do not assume that every severe headache is a migraine.
Amerge treats migraine symptoms but does not prevent future attacks or cure migraine.
Do not take it for another type of headache unless your healthcare provider has confirmed that the headache is a migraine.
Follow your prescribed dose carefully and contact your healthcare provider if Amerge stops working, your migraine pattern changes, or your headaches become more frequent.
Amerge (Naratriptan) is available in the following forms and strength:
Amerge may interact with certain prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Tell your healthcare provider about everything you take before starting Amerge. Important interactions may occur with other migraine medicines and medications that increase serotonin levels.
Do not start, stop, or change another medication without medical advice.
Do not take Amerge within 24 hours of another triptan medication, such as sumatriptan, rizatriptan, or zolmitriptan.
You should also avoid taking Amerge within 24 hours of an ergot-containing migraine medication, such as ergotamine or dihydroergotamine.
Combining these medicines may cause excessive narrowing of the blood vessels and increase the risk of serious side effects.
Amerge may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with certain medications that affect serotonin.
These may include:
Serotonin syndrome is rare but can become serious. Seek immediate medical care if you develop agitation, confusion, sweating, fever, a rapid heartbeat, muscle stiffness, shaking, poor coordination, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Amerge is not automatically prohibited within 24 hours of an MAO inhibitor in the same way as another triptan or ergot medicine. However, the combination may raise the risk of serotonin syndrome and should only be used under medical supervision.
Do not use Amerge if you have certain heart or circulation problems, including:
Amerge narrows certain blood vessels and may increase the risk of serious heart or circulation problems in people with these conditions.
Seek immediate medical care if you develop chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, sudden weakness, difficulty speaking, or an irregular heartbeat.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver disease.
People with mild or moderate kidney or liver impairment may need a lower starting dose and a lower maximum daily dose.
Amerge should not be used in people with severe kidney or liver impairment because the medication may build up in the body and increase the risk of side effects.
Use Amerge with caution if you have Raynaud’s syndrome or another condition that reduces blood flow to the fingers, toes, or other parts of the body.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop unusual coldness, numbness, pain, or color changes in your fingers or toes.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have epilepsy or a history of seizures.
Seizures have been reported with triptan medications, including in some people without a previous seizure disorder.
Seek immediate medical care if you experience a seizure.
Amerge or the migraine itself may cause dizziness, sleepiness, weakness, or difficulty concentrating.
Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform hazardous activities until you know how the medication affects you.
Stop taking Amerge and seek immediate medical care if you develop:
Hives or a severe rash
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Severe dizziness or fainting
Take Amerge only for a migraine that has been diagnosed by a healthcare provider.
Do not use more than prescribed or combine it with another migraine medication without medical guidance. Contact your healthcare provider if your headaches change in pattern, become more frequent, or no longer respond to treatment.
Take Amerge by mouth exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Take your prescribed dose when migraine pain begins. If the migraine improves but later returns, a second dose may be taken after at least four hours if your healthcare provider has approved this. Do not take more than 5 mg within 24 hours. Do not use Amerge to prevent migraines or take extra tablets for faster relief.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. There is limited information about the use of Amerge during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider will consider the possible benefits and risks before recommending treatment. Do not begin or stop Amerge without medical guidance.
Alcohol does not have a well-established direct interaction with Amerge. However, it can trigger or worsen migraines in some people. Alcohol may also increase dizziness, sleepiness, or difficulty concentrating. Avoid drinking alcohol until you know how Amerge affects you.
Amerge should be used only when needed to treat a migraine attack. Using triptans or other short-term migraine medicines on 10 or more days each month may cause medication-overuse headaches. These headaches can become more frequent and harder to treat. Keep track of how often you use Amerge. Contact your healthcare provider if you need it frequently, your migraines become more common, or your treatment is no longer effective.
Amerge may begin relieving migraine symptoms within a few hours. Many people are assessed for improvement about four hours after taking a dose. The response varies from person to person. Do not take an additional dose sooner than four hours after the first dose. Contact your healthcare provider if the first dose provides no relief or your headaches change in severity or pattern.
