How it works
Headset Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Sumatriptan and Naproxen that treat migraine. Sumatriptan is a selective 5HT1-receptor agonist which relieves headache by narrowing the widened blood vessels in the head. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which blocks the release of certain chemical messengers and decreases general inflammation and pain caused due to migraine.

Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how Headset Tablet affects you. Notify your doctor if your migraine occurs more often than before you started using Headset Tablet. Inform your doctor if you have stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, headache and/or worsening high blood pressure while taking Headset Tablet.
