How many ZembraceSymTouch (sumatriptan) injections are allowed in 24 hours?
For ZembraceSymTouch (sumatriptan) injection, the usual dosing limits are:
- You can take up to 12 mg total in 24 hours for adults.
- If you use the 3 mg injection strength, that means a maximum of 4 injections in 24 hours (3 mg × 4 = 12 mg).
- If you use the 6 mg injection strength, that means a maximum of 2 injections in 24 hours (6 mg × 2 = 12 mg).
If your migraine returns after the first dose, you can take another dose only if there is at least 1 hour between injections.
What if you still have symptoms after the first injection?
You can take a second injection for the same migraine if needed, as long as you:
- Wait at least 1 hour between injections, and
- Stay within the 24-hour maximum dose limit (12 mg total).
Who should take extra care with the 24-hour limit?
The 24-hour maximum can be lower in some situations, including certain drug interactions and specific medical conditions (for example, significant liver problems or use of interacting medicines). Check your prescription label or your clinician’s instructions if you have any of these risk factors.
Where to confirm the exact limit on your specific product?
Because ZembraceSymTouch products and dosing may vary by formulation and prescriber instructions, the safest step is to verify the maximum daily dose on your package insert or prescription directions.
