Version May 2024
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use. Sumatriptan/naproxen is contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients and patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease and/or GI bleeding are at greater risk for serious GI events.
Migraine, moderate to severe, acute treatment:
Note: Safety: Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration of time. Avoid or use with caution in patients at risk for or with existing cardiovascular disease, GI disease, kidney impairment, chronic liver disease, or a bleeding diathesis due to greater risk for adverse events. Consider administering in combination with a proton-pump inhibitor in patients at risk for GI bleeding (eg, taking dual antiplatelet therapy or an anticoagulant, ≥60 years of age) (ACCF/ACG/AHA [Abraham 2010]; ACCF/ACG/AHA [Bhatt 2008]). Do not use within 24 hours of an ergotamine preparation or a different triptan. Use: Limit use to <10 days per month to avoid medication overuse headache. Administration early in the course of a migraine attack, at the first sign of pain, may improve response to treatment. When attack is complicated by severe nausea or vomiting, a nonoral medication may be more effective (AHS [Ailani 2021]).
Oral: Sumatriptan 85 mg/naproxen 500 mg as a single dose; if symptoms persist or return, may repeat dose after ≥2 hours. Maximum: Sumatriptan 85 mg/naproxen 500 mg per dose; sumatriptan 170 mg/naproxen 1 g per 24 hours (Silberstein 2008; manufacturer’s labeling).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
CrCl ≥30 mL/minute: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer’s labeling (has not been studied); use with caution and monitor renal function.
CrCl <30 mL/minute: Use not recommended.
Mild to moderate impairment: The manufacturer’s labeling recommends sumatriptan 10 mg/naproxen 60 mg as a single dose; however, a tablet containing these amounts of sumatriptan and naproxen is no longer available.
Severe impairment: Use is contraindicated.
Note: Unless alternative agents are ineffective and a gastroprotective agent can be administered, avoid short-term scheduled use of naproxen in combination with corticosteroids, anticoagulants, or antiplatelet agents or chronic use with or without medications that increase risk for bleeding (Ref).
Refer to adult dosing.
(For additional information see "Sumatriptan and naproxen: Pediatric drug information")
Migraine: Children ≥12 years and Adolescents <18 years: Limited data available: Oral: Sumatriptan 85 mg/naproxen 500 mg once at onset of mild to moderate pain; dose has been evaluated in over 600 pediatric patients accounting for over 12,000 doses; the pain free response at 2 hours postdose was shown to be consistent and higher than placebo; in a long-term (12 month) open-label trial, patients were exposed to an average 2.5 doses/month (AAN [Oskoui 2019]; Derosier 2012; McDonald 2011; Winner 2015). Note: Although an initial dose of sumatriptan 10 mg/naproxen 60 mg is described in manufacturer's labeling, a dosage form is no longer available.

Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in the US labeling): Ophthalmoplegic migraine; breastfeeding; moderate hepatic impairment; active liver disease; severe, uncontrolled heart failure; active GI ulcer (gastric, duodenal, peptic); active GI bleeding; cerebrovascular bleeding or other bleeding disorders; inflammatory bowel disease; severe renal impairment (<30 mL/minute) or deteriorating renal disease; known hyperkalemia; pregnancy (third trimester).
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Anaphylactoid reactions: Even in patients without prior exposure anaphylactoid reactions may occur; patients with "aspirin triad" (bronchial asthma, aspirin intolerance, rhinitis with or without nasal polyps) may be at increased risk. Do not use in patients who experience bronchospasm, asthma, rhinitis, or urticaria with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or aspirin therapy.
• Cardiovascular events: [US Boxed Warning]: NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious (and potentially fatal) adverse cardiovascular thrombotic events, including MI and stroke. Risk may occur early during treatment and may increase with duration of use. Relative risk appears to be similar in those with and without known cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease; however, absolute incidence of cardiovascular events (which may occur early during treatment) was higher in patients with known cardiovascular disease or risk factors. New onset hypertension or exacerbation of hypertension may occur (NSAIDs may also impair response to ACE inhibitors, thiazide diuretics, or loop diuretics); may contribute to cardiovascular events; monitor blood pressure; use with caution in patients with hypertension. May cause sodium and fluid retention, use with caution in patients with edema. Avoid use in patients with heart failure (FDA 2015). Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration of time, consistent with individual patient goals, to reduce risk of cardiovascular events; alternate therapies should be considered for patients at high risk. Coronary artery vasospasm, transient ischemia, myocardial infarction, life-threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm, including ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation leading to death, have been reported with 5-HT1 agonist administration; some events have occurred within a few hours of administration. Discontinue if these events occur. Patients who experience sensations of chest pain/pressure/tightness or symptoms suggestive of angina following dosing should be evaluated for coronary artery disease or Prinzmetal angina before receiving additional doses; if dosing is resumed and similar symptoms recur, monitor with ECG. Tightness, pain, pressure, and heaviness in the chest, jaw/neck/throat, commonly occur after treatment with sumatriptan and is usually noncardiac in origin, cardiac evaluation recommended for patients at high cardiac risk. Use is contraindicated in patients with ischemic or vasospastic CAD and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or arrhythmias associated with other cardiac accessory conduction pathway disorders.
• Cerebrovascular events: Cerebral/subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke (may be fatal) have been reported with 5-HT1 agonist administration; discontinue use if a cerebrovascular event occurs. Use is contraindicated in patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
• CNS effects: May cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, and other neurologic effects which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks which require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery or driving). Discontinue use with blurred or diminished vision and perform ophthalmologic exam. Periodically evaluate vision in all patients receiving long term therapy.
• Elevated blood pressure: Significant elevation in blood pressure, including hypertensive crisis with acute impairment of organ systems, has also been reported on rare occasions in patients with and without a history of hypertension, monitor blood pressure; contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
• Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms: Potentially serious, sometimes fatal, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), also known as multiorgan hypersensitivity reactions, has been reported with NSAIDs. Monitor for signs and symptoms (eg, fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia) in association with other organ system involvement (eg, hepatitis, nephritis, hematological abnormalities, myocarditis, myositis). Early symptoms of hypersensitivity reaction (eg, lymphadenopathy, fever) may occur without rash; discontinue therapy and further evaluate if DRESS is suspected.
• GI events: [US Boxed Warning]: NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious GI inflammation, ulceration, bleeding, and perforation (may be fatal); elderly patients and patients with history of peptic ulcer disease and/or GI bleeding are at greater risk for serious GI events. These events may occur at any time during therapy and without warning. Avoid use in patients with active GI bleeding. In patients with a history of acute lower GI bleeding, avoid use of non-aspirin NSAIDs, especially if due to angioectasia or diverticulosis (Strate 2016). Use caution with a history of GI ulcers, concurrent therapy known to increase the risk of GI bleeding (eg, aspirin, anticoagulants and/or corticosteroids, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), smoking, use of alcohol, or in elderly or debilitated patients. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration of time, consistent with individual patient goals, to reduce risk of GI adverse events; alternate therapies should be considered for patients at high risk. When used concomitantly with aspirin, a substantial increase in the risk of GI complications (eg, ulcer) occurs; concomitant gastroprotective therapy (eg, proton pump inhibitors) is recommended (Bhatt 2008).
• Headaches: Acute migraine agents (eg, triptans, opioids, ergotamine, or a combination of the agents) used for 10 or more days per month may lead to worsening of headaches (medication overuse headache); withdrawal treatment may be necessary in the setting of overuse.
• Hematologic effects: Platelet adhesion and aggregation may be decreased; may prolong bleeding time; patients with coagulation disorders or who are receiving anticoagulants should be monitored closely. Anemia may occur; patients on long-term NSAID therapy should be monitored for anemia. Rarely, NSAID use has been associated with potentially severe blood dyscrasias (eg, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia).
• Hepatotoxicity: Elevated liver enzymes and severe hepatic reactions (eg, jaundice, fatal fulminant hepatitis, liver necrosis, liver failure) have occurred with NSAID use. Closely monitor patients with any abnormal LFT; discontinue if signs or symptoms of liver disease develop, if systemic manifestations (eg, eosinophilia, rash) occur, or if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen.
• Hyperkalemia: NSAID use may increase the risk of hyperkalemia, particularly in the elderly, diabetics, renal disease, and with concomitant use of other agents capable of inducing hyperkalemia (eg, ACE-inhibitors). Monitor potassium closely.
• Renal toxicity: NSAID use may compromise existing renal function; dose-dependent decreases in prostaglandin synthesis may result from NSAID use, reducing renal blood flow which may cause renal decompensation. Patients with impaired renal function, hypovolemia, heart failure, liver dysfunction, salt depletion, those taking diuretics, and ACE inhibitors, and the elderly are at greater risk of renal toxicity. Rehydrate patient before starting therapy; monitor renal function closely. Long-term NSAID use may result in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury.
• Skin reactions: NSAIDs may cause serious skin adverse events including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) which can be fatal; discontinue use at first sign of skin rash or hypersensitivity.
• Vasospasm-related events: Non-coronary vasospastic reactions, such as peripheral vascular ischemia, GI vascular ischemia and infarction (with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea), splenic infarction, and Raynaud syndrome have been reported with 5-HT1 agonist.
• Visual effects: Transient and permanent blindness and significant partial vision loss have been reported rarely with use of 5-HT1 agonists; a causal relationship between these events and 5-HT1 agonist administration has not been clearly determined.
Disease-related concerns:
• Asthma: Do not administer to patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma; severe bronchospasm may occur. Use caution in patients with other forms of asthma.
• Bariatric surgery: Gastric ulceration: Avoid chronic use of oral nonselective NSAIDs after bariatric surgery; development of anastomotic ulcerations/perforations may occur (Bhangu 2014; Mechanick 2020). Short-term use of celecoxib or IV ketorolac are recommended as part of a multimodal pain management strategy for postoperative pain (Chou 2016; Horsley 2019; Thorell 2016).
• Coronary artery disease: Should not be given to patients with documented CAD (contraindicated), history of CABG (contraindicated), or who have multiple risk factors for CAD (eg, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoker, obesity, diabetes, strong family history of CAD, menopause, male >40 years of age) without adequate cardiac evaluation. Patients with suspected CAD should have cardiovascular evaluation to rule out CAD before considering use; if cardiovascular evaluation is "satisfactory," first dose should be given in the health care provider's office (consider ECG monitoring). Periodic evaluation of cardiovascular status should be done in all patients.
• Heart failure/edema: Use caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure; fluid retention, edema, and peripheral edema have occurred in patients receiving NSAIDs.
• Hepatic function impairment: Use is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment; dosage reduction recommended in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. Patients with advanced hepatic disease are at an increased risk of GI bleeding and kidney failure with NSAIDs (AASLD [Biggins 2021]; AASLD [Runyon 2013]).
• Renal impairment: Not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/minute); monitor renal function in patients with mild to moderate impairment, preexisting kidney disease, or dehydration.
• Seizure disorders: Use with caution in patients with history of seizure disorder or in patients with a lowered seizure threshold; seizures have been reported in patients receiving sumatriptan with or without a history of seizures.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Serotonin syndrome: Symptoms of agitation, confusion, hallucinations, hyper-reflexia, myoclonus, shivering, and tachycardia may occur with concomitant proserotonergic drugs (ie, SSRIs/SNRIs or triptans) or agents which reduce sumatriptan's metabolism. Concurrent use of serotonin precursors (eg, tryptophan) is not recommended. If concomitant administration with SSRIs is warranted, monitor closely, especially at initiation and with dose increases.
Special populations:
• Older adult: Older adult patients are more likely to have underlying cardiovascular disease and renal impairment and blood pressure increases may be more pronounced; use with caution. Perform a cardiovascular evaluation prior to initiation of therapy in older adult patients with cardiovascular risk factors (eg, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, obesity, strong family history of coronary artery disease) and periodically during intermittent long-term use.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Only indicated for treatment of acute migraine; if a patient does not respond to the first dose, the diagnosis of migraine should be reconsidered; rule out underlying neurologic disease in patients with atypical headache and in patients with no prior history of migraine; not indicated for prevention of migraine attacks; safety and effectiveness have not been established for cluster headache.
Serious adverse effects, such as MI, stroke, visual loss, and death, have been reported in pediatric patients after sumatriptan use by the oral, intranasal, and/or SubQ routes; frequency of such adverse effects cannot currently be determined, monitor patients closely. Pseudoporphyria (ie, increased skin fragility and blistering with scarring in sun-exposed skin) has been reported in naproxen-treated children with JIA (reported incidence, 12%); discontinue therapy if this occurs.
