Grace,
Imitrix should never be used by anyone over 50 yrs. There is a chance of stroke when older folks use this drug. I was told this a few years ago and was told to throw out what I had left. This past Thursday, I went to a lecture given by a neurologist here in TV and he as well said not to use triptans..... which Imitrix is.
