Sumatriptan July 2025 Market Review

By Dan Fallon, Director, PharmacyPriceHound

If you’ve ever had to shop around for migraine medication, you’ll know it can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack… while nursing a pounding headache. At Pharmacy Price Hound, we make it a so much easier. Every month we keep tabs on what different UK online pharmacies are charging for Sumatriptan, so you don’t have to scroll through endless price lists or guess whether you’re getting a fair deal.

A Quick Refresher on Sumatriptan

Migraines and cluster headaches aren’t just “bad headaches” — they can knock out entire days. There’s no magic cure, but medications like Sumatriptan can ease the pain by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing the chemical signals that make light, sound, and movement unbearable.
You’ll find Sumatriptan as tablets, injections, and nasal sprays. Tablets are by far the most common, and whether you buy them under brand names like Imigran or as a generic, the active ingredient is exactly the same. If your goal is to keep costs down, the generic is almost always the smarter choice.

July 2025 Price Roundup

When comparing prices, it’s not just about finding the lowest number — it’s about matching the pack size to how often you actually use it. Someone with the occasional migraine might be fine with a 3-tablet pack, while frequent sufferers could save more by buying in bulk.

Sumatriptan 50mg

Best Total Price (small pack)
Cloud Pharmacy – 3 tablets for £5.89
Cost per tablet: £1.96

Best Price per Tablet
Oushk Pharmacy – 6 tablets for £5.99
Cost per tablet: £1.00

Pick of the Week
Doctor Fox – 12 tablets for £15.50
Cost per tablet: £1.29

Bulk Option to Consider
Ashcroft Pharmacy – 18 tablets for £24.99
Cost per tablet: £1.39

Sumatriptan 100mg
Not as many pharmacies carry the 100mg strength, and the pack size options are a bit limited. Still, the difference between the cheapest and most expensive per-tablet cost can be huge.

Best Total Price (small pack)
Ashcroft Pharmacy – 3 tablets for £6.99
Cost per tablet: £2.33

Best Price per Tablet
Doctor Fox – 12 tablets for £17.80
Cost per tablet: £1.48

That’s quite a gap — sticking with Doctor Fox’s 12-pack over Ashcroft’s 3-pack saves you £0.85 per tablet.

Takeaway

Across the UK’s online pharmacies, Sumatriptan prices are still all over the place. For occasional users, a small pack from Cloud Pharmacy or Ashcroft might be fine. But if you’re taking it regularly, it’s worth looking at the larger packs from Oushk or Doctor Fox — they can cut your cost by more than £2 per tablet.
As always, the trick is balancing the right quantity for your needs without stocking up so much that they expire before you use them. We’ll keep tracking the numbers each month so you know where the best deals are hiding. You can find all the data on our Sumatriptan price comparison page.
