Postmarketing Epistaxis
Pharmacology
NSAID that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis in peripheral tissues; analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties are attributed to this decrease in prostaglandins, which sensitize afferent nerves and mediate inflammation.
Sumatriptan is a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist that constricts intracranial blood vessels and inhibits pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release from the trigeminal system, relieving migraine headache.
