Patients with cluster headaches and severe migraine attacks rely on the use of sumatriptan 6 mg using an auto-injector (pen). The active substance is injected from a cartridge through a fine needle under the skin (ie subcutaneously, abbreviated sc) using a ballpoint pen-like device at the push of a button. In recent months, serious supply problems have arisen due to delivery difficulties.

Autoinjectors currently come in different forms:

  • Imigran 6 mg-sc cartridges for replacing and using with the Glaxopen
  • Sumatriptan 6 mg sc Hormosan pre-filled syringe (single injector)

As announced, sumatriptan 6 mg sc Hormosan will be available again from the beginning of May 1, 2016.
