Triptans are drugs used to treat migraine headaches and cluster headaches. This is the name for severe headaches which appear in series, many times a day and in a period of several weeks or months.
Triptans act on the sites in the brain which are the usual binding sites for the serotonin molecules. These sites are the serotonin receptors. Triptan effects changes in the nerve cells which halt the headache attack. The effect of triptans depends on the GNB3 gene. Our analysis will tell you what kind of effect your can expect from triptans should you start suffering from such severe headaches.
