====Correct timing of intake==== Triptans should be taken as soon as possible after the onset of pain. In case of migraine with [[Aura (migraine)|aura]] they are to be taken after the aura and with the onset of pain.<ref name="AC" /> If taken too early, they may not have the full effect on symptom reduction, and in case of an aura, they can worsen the aura. It is assumed that blood vessels are [[Vasoconstriction|constricted]] during the aura phase and [[Vasodilation|dilated]] during the pain phase, so a constrictive medication like a triptan is not recommended during the aura.<ref>{{Cite journal |last2= Elliott|first2= D.|date=June 6, 2007 |title=Acute migraine: Current treatment and emerging therapies |journal=Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management |volume=3 |issue=3 |pages=449β459 |issn=1176-6336 |pmc=2386351 |pmid=18488069|last1= Kalra|first1= A.
