Sumatriptan is generic now, so cost should probably be edited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.81.61 ( talk) 19:05, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Last I remember the Canadian Blood Service disallows donors who have taken triptans for the past 3 days because it presents a risk to the donor. I'm not allowed to donate to mainstream due to a past false positive, and I have forgotten about taking migraine medication before donating for research purposes, and I definitely felt ill afterwards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.73.201 ( talk) 21:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Reading this article, it would appear that this page is about a family of drugs, referred repeatedly throughout the article as Triptans ... therefore it would appear that this article should be named Triptans rather than the singular Triptan. As now, Triptans redirects to Triptan ... probably it should be the other way around. Enquire ( talk) 19:02, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
"Many patients have a recurrent attack later in the day, and only one such recurrence in a day can be treated with a second dose of a triptan."
uh...what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.86.54 ( talk) 04:25, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Probably not worth discussing, but I don't have the time to do the merger right now. Maybe later. Part of 5-HT1D receptor agonist should probably merged into Discovery and development of triptans and/or 5-HT1D receptor. -- ἀνυπόδητος ( talk) 11:53, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Anypodetos In September 2016 you removed this drug safety box saying "(WP:NOTHOWTO; copyedit; some additions and fringe removal)". I posted this. I work for an organization which publishes this and other layman drug safety information.
Could you say more about why you oppose the inclusion of this information? Do you think that Wikipedia should not have drug safety information generally (no WP:HOWTO), or is there a problem with this information specifically? Anything you could share would be useful to me. I acknowledge that most Wikipedia articles do not have safety alerts like this. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:27, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

It is unclear where the data for this table is coming from, especially that of the L-703,664 and GR 46611 molecules as they are referenced nowhere else in the article and have no article attached to them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.10.230 ( talk) 14:56, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
This is how a pair of sentences in the introduction currently read: "They are not effective for the treatment of tension–type headache,[1] except in persons who also experience migraines.[2] They may be effective in disabling tension–type headaches, which exist on a spectrum of migraine.[2] "
If I understand correctly, they may (with a low degree of certainty) be useful as treatment for tension headaches in migraineurs. This is not what is currently stated, rather it goes all-in on saying they are not effective for tension headaches, it then makes the exception, but in a separate sentence restates the exception. This is unclear and I would be grateful if someone more knowledgeable than myself could tidy and condense this into one sentence, either stating that this exception exists or disregarding it altogether as appropriate.
