I have been prescribed Imijet 500mg Injection. Can I take other migraine medicines, similar to Imijet 500mg Injection, with it?
Imijet 500mg Injection belongs to a family of tryptamine-based drugs called Triptans. You should not take another triptan along with Imijet 500mg Injection. Taking two triptans together may trigger a heart attack and may also result in an increase in blood pressure.

How do I know migraine attack is about to start?
Some people develop aura before getting a migraine attack.

You may also have difficulty speaking and loss of consciousness, although this is unusual.
