Treximet is a combination of sumatriptan, a 5-HT1 receptor agonist, and naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Sumatriptan mediates vasoconstriction of the human basilar artery and vasculature of human dura mater. Naproxen contains analgesic and antipyretic properties which may be related to prostaglandin synthetase inhibition. It is formulated with GlaxoSmithKline’s RT Technology.
