The 5-HT1B effect on cranial blood vessels produces vasoconstriction that reverses the neurogenic vasodilation of migraine; the 5-HT1D effect inhibits CGRP and other vasoactive neuropeptide release at trigeminal nerve terminals, blunting the neuroinflammatory cascade that drives migraine pain.</vote> '''Contraindicated''' in coronary artery disease, vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal), uncontrolled hypertension, history of ischemic stroke, and hemiplegic or basilar migraine. Serotonin syndrome risk with SSRIs and SNRIs has FDA labeling but the clinical incidence is debated. Should not be combined with ergot derivatives within 24 hours. '''Medicine-overuse headache''' is the major chronic-use complication, with the threshold of ≥10 days of triptan use per month<ref name="imitrex-label" />.
