Amerge (Naratriptan) belongs to the group of drugs called triptans. Amerge is used for the treatment of migraines with or without aura. It helps to relieve headaches, pain and other symptoms of migraines including sensitivity to light/sound, nausea and vomiting. Naratriptan works by affecting serotonin that constricts blood vessels in the brain and by blocking other pain pathways in the brain. Amerge does not prevent future migraines or reduce how often you may get a migraine headache.
