Suvexx Tablets Information
What Are Suvexx Tablets?
Suvexx is a prescription medicine used to treat migraine attacks. It contains sumatriptan and naproxen. These active ingredients work together to effectively treat migraines in people who have not found relief from single-ingredient medications. You take Suvexx as soon as you can after migraine symptoms start.
Can I Use Suvexx Tablets?
If you’re an adult who experiences migraines and you’ve tried other migraine treatments that haven’t worked, Suvexx may be suitable. A quick online consultation will allow a UK-registered prescriber to determine whether Suvexx is right for you. During the consultation, the prescriber will review your medical history and any medicines you already take to ensure Suvexx is safe for you to use.
How Do Suvexx Tablets Work?
During a migraine, the blood vessels in your head can dilate (widen), causing pain. Sumatriptan narrows these blood vessels, while naproxen reduces inflammation to ease swelling and irritation. Together, they work in different ways to relieve migraine pain and inflammation.
Alternatives to Suvexx Tablets
If Suvexx isn’t suitable for you, other options may be more appropriate. These include:
- Single-ingredient triptans such as zolmitriptan, rizatriptan or eletriptan
- Anti-sickness medicines to take alongside pain relief
- NSAID painkillers taken on their own
- Preventative migraine treatments if you get frequent attacks
How To Use Suvexx Tablets
The recommended dose for adults is one tablet as soon as your migraine starts.

Warnings
You should only use Suvexx if your headache is definitely a migraine. Several health conditions may mean you shouldn’t take Suvexx, including blood circulation disorders, coronary artery disease, and reduced heart, kidney, or liver function.
Suvexx can also cause you to experience short-term chest pain or a feeling of pressure after taking it. If this happens, speak to your prescriber.
For all warnings and side effects, please see the Patient Information Leaflet.
Suvexx FAQs
Is Suvexx the same as sumatriptan?
One of the active ingredients in Suvexx is sumatriptan, but it also contains naproxen. This means it works in two ways to treat migraine pain, whereas sumatriptan on its own works in only one way.
How much naproxen is in Suvexx?
Each Suvexx tablet contains 500mg of naproxen sodium, which is equivalent to 457mg of naproxen.
Does Suvexx make you tired?
Suvexx may cause fatigue, drowsiness or dizziness, although not everyone experiences these effects. Migraines themselves can also cause fatigue and brain fog, so the medication may not always be the cause.
Can you drive after taking Suvexx?
Suvexx may make you feel drowsy or dizzy, in which case you should avoid driving or operating machinery. It’s also common to feel these symptoms from a migraine itself, so it may be wise to avoid such activities until you feel better.
Who is Suvexx not suitable for?
Certain health conditions may make Suvexx unsuitable for you. These include:
- Heart problems
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Blood circulation issues in your legs
- Gastric or duodenal ulcers
- Bleeding in the stomach or gut
- Liver function problems
- Issues with kidney function
You also shouldn’t take Suvexx in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it can cause health issues for your unborn baby.
Your quick and easy consultation allows a prescriber to review your medical history before approving treatment.
How quickly does Suvexx work?
Suvexx can start to relieve a migraine within 30 to 60 minutes. But it can take a few hours to feel the full effect. If your headache returns or doesn’t fully go away, you can take a second dose two hours after the first. Don’t take more than two doses in 24 hours.
Can I take other medications with Suvexx?
Some medicines can interact with Suvexx, and taking multiple medications at the same time can increase side effects or, in rare cases, cause serious reactions. You shouldn’t take Suvexx alongside other triptans, ergotamine migraine treatments, or certain antidepressants. It’s important to let your prescriber know about any medicines or supplements you take so they can ensure Suvexx is safe for you.
Can I take Suvexx with food and alcohol?
Food doesn’t affect how well Suvexx works, so you can take it with or without food. Alcohol may make migraine symptoms worse and increase the risk of stomach irritation, especially when combined with naproxen.
How do I store Suvexx tablets?
Keep your Suvexx out of the sight and reach of children. Don’t use this medicine after the expiry date shown on both the label and the carton. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month. Never throw unused tablets in your household waste - speak to your prescriber for guidance on proper disposal.
Can I buy Suvexx online?
Yes, you can request Suvexx online after completing a short medical consultation with a licensed online pharmacy. A UK-registered prescriber will review your information to determine whether Suvexx is the most appropriate treatment for you.
