About Headrix Tablets

Headrix is a prescription medicine indicated for the treatment of acute migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. Migraines occur due to complex neurological changes involving blood vessel dilation, inflammation, and altered pain signalling pathways in the brain.

Headrix combines two complementary mechanisms in one formulation:

  • Sumatriptan works on the vascular and neurological component of migraine.
  • Naproxen targets inflammation and prolonged pain response.

This dual-action approach helps provide comprehensive migraine relief and reduces the likelihood of headache recurrence within 24 hours.

Headrix is intended for treating active migraine episodes and is not recommended for routine migraine prevention.
