Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Migraine 

Medicinal Benefits

Fyn-Head Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sumatriptan and Naproxen. Fyn-Head Tablet is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura. Sumatriptan is a serotonin receptor agonist that acts on the serotonin (5-HT) receptors located in the brain, which causes the narrowing of the brain's blood vessels, thereby affecting the blood flow patterns with a headache. Naproxen is a pain killer which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, thereby reducing pain in migraine.
