severe or prolonged chest pain or an irregular heartbeat;
chest, jaw, or neck pain or tightness;
sudden or severe stomach pain;

drowsiness or dizziness;
tingling, flushing, warmth, redness, or heaviness of a body part;
unpleasant taste in the mouth (nasal spray);

Large doses of sumatripan (200 mg/day) can cause sulfhemoglobinemia, a rare condition in which the blood changes from red to greenish-black, due to the integration of sulfur into the hemoglobin molecule[2]. If sumatripan is discontinued, the condition reverses within a few weeks.
