User Reviews for Sumavel DosePro subcutaneous

I use the Sumavel DosePro needle-free injector and it is a great med! IBecause my migraines come on fast or I wake up with them and the fact that they cause severe nausea, I can't take pills. This unit is easy to use and I can start to feel it working within about 15 minutes and feel major relief within 2 hours. I don't like needles, so the design is great! Easy and the meds are injected under the skin in less than a second. The only thing you feel is a brief "ice" feeling. No needles and no pain! The price tage is a little high, but the drug company that makes the drug offers assistance in covering the cost. I pay $100 for a box of 6 units. Anyone that has migraines would fully agree that $18 per dose is well worth it when it stops the pain!Read More Read Less

Hurts just briefly, but was amazed at how fast my headache and vomiting were gone - in just under 10 minutes after having both all day. Life saver.

I have had migraines for over 20 years and this is the most effective medicine I have tried. The first time I injected it in my leg and it was extremely painful. Since then, I put it in my abdomen and it is much less painful. Relief is immediate, within 5-10 minutes. It is very expensive, even with insurance, but worth it. I highly recommend it.

I've battled with migraines since I can remember (Im 25 now) Ive tried everything. I got this from my neurologist today and IT HURT SO BAD but within 10 min my light sensitivity and sound sensitivity disappeared and I felt happy. Ive had a migraine everyday for 3 weeks and now its gone. I can feel it slowly coming back but it DOES work. I wish it werent so painful but it is worth it. My kit came with a coupon for $35 dollars of a pack of six. So in all I pay $25 for six, and the coupon works 6 times. I cant urge anyone enough to try this. Ive been on imitrex, frova, narcotics, OTC .. Ive been in and out of emergency rooms since I was 10 and been called a hydrocondriac more times than I can count. If you have migraines you know the torture we suffer and I do not wish that on anyway. Sorry for the novel TRY THIS DRUG!Read More Read Less

Relief in 20 minutes

I had been suffering a migraine for 6 days and my prescription was not helping. I called my doctor and she gave me a sample. I took the needless shot and within 20 minutes I was finally able to sleep; which I did for 4 hours. Bad part is I went to fill the script and insurance won't cover so now I am fighting with the insurance company. It is very expensive (over $500 a dose expensive). Other than the cost it was a miracle drug for me.

great option

I work at a drs office and i tried this med due to suffering for last 3 days with a migraine that wouldnt ease up with my usual migraine meds. The shot hurt EXTREMELY bad. But my headache is clearing up after about 20 minutes now.

After experiencing a painful migraine for three days that was not responding to several migraine medications, my neurologist gave me this injection. Within ten minutes, the migraine was gone.

My Doctor gave me samples of this drug to try. The first one I tried was a dud and would not inject. Which is very frustrating when your in pain with a migraine. When the second one did work it was extremely painful, I guess they the pain of the injection takes your mind off of the pain in your head! My migraine was relieved for about 2 hours, then it came back. When I went to get the prescription filled my insurance would not cover it.

This delivery system is painful. It left a whelp on my skin for several hours. I would have rather given myself an injection. BUT it did feel the medication began to work within 15 minutes.

At first the loud burst of air was scary, but my migraine was gone in five minutes. It is a wonder drug!!!!!!!!!!

I had a migraine for 4 days and my doctor had a sample to try and he tryed it on me and with in 30 mins i was back to normal. What a good drug. He wrote me a scrip and it's costly but worth every penny.

This medicine works great, a single dose lasts over 24 hours, witch means i can go on with my day with out having to worry of migraines
