This review is going to take a closer look at Treximet to learn more about how this product works and to see if it’s worth trying out. Treximet is a prescription medication that is made from naproxen sodium and sumatriptan and is designed to help you get relief from migraines. The manufacturer claims that their medicine is made with a triptan called sumatriptan that is combined with naproxen to offer greater pain relief when experiencing a migraine.
Ingredients
- Naproxen Sodium
- Sumatriptan
Naproxen Sodium belongs to a group of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is believed to work by reducing swelling, inflammation, and pain and is generally used to relieve pain that is accompanied by inflammation. Sumatriptan belongs to a class of drugs called serotonin receptor agonists. It relieves migraines by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain which cause the muscles surrounding the blood vessels in the brain to contract and narrow the blood vessels. It also reduces the transmission of pain signals by nerves to the brain.
Dosage
The recommended dosage for adults is one tablet. The maximum recommended dosage is two tablets in a 24 hour period, taken at least two hours apart.

Treximet Review – Conclusion
Treximet appears to be a promising treatment for migraines. It combines naproxen sodium and sumatriptan which are more effective when combined as opposed to on their own in treating migraines and it comes in easy to take tablets for convenience. However, because Treximet is a prescription medication, it comes along with a variety of potentially dangerous side effects that can have a big impact on your overall health. Furthermore, the price to take this medication is exorbitantly high if you do not have an insurance plan. Taking these factors into consideration, choosing Treximet is risky. You are better off purchasing a natural supplement that is made from natural ingredients that will have few, if any, side effects and will be more reasonably priced.
