Sumatriptans whilst pregnant?
Show your support
I had a consultant appointment where it says they can be used if having a terrible migraine but use sparingly. I’ve managed to avoid having a horrific migraine in pregnancy but I have sumatriptan regularly as I get weekly migraines!
I used during my pregnancy when they got really bad and it was fine! It was zolmitriptan I couldn’t take
I used them when I was pregnant. Everything was fine xx

Hey. I had really bad multiple times a week migraines couple years ago and the dr asked me if I was pregnant or ttc. I was ttc and the Dr prescribed sumatriptan instead of the main one. So it is safe. However defo use if necessary and for the extremely painful migraines.
