Naratriptan (C17H25N3O2S) is used for the acute relief of migraine headache. It is one of the “triptan” class of drugs which constrict cranial blood vessels by acting selectively at 5HT (5-hydroxytryptamine or serotonin) receptors. Common side effects include sensations of tingling, flushing, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea or dry mouth. Dependence can occur with overuse of this type of medication resulting in recurrent and/or rebound headaches and withdrawal syndrome. Studies in the 1960s showed that vasoconstriction from serotonin could reduce migraine attacks, but serotonin had too many side effects to be used directly as a drug. Research on 5HT receptors eventually led to the discovery of the first triptan drug, sumatriptan which was first launched in the Netherlands in 1991 and later in other countries. Other triptan drugs followed in subsequent years.
