Brief summary: This study will evaluate the exposure of sumatriptan after administration of TREXIMA (sumatriptan 85mg/naproxen sodium 500mg) followed by a subcutaneous IMITREX injection (4mg or 6mg) 2 hours later compared to administration of a IMITREX 100mg tablet followed by a IMITREX 100mg tablet 2 hours later.

Detailed description: An open-label, randomized, 3-period crossover study to evaluate sumatriptan pharmacokinetics for a TREXIMA™ (sumatriptan succinate / naproxen sodium) Tablet followed by IMITREX® (sumatriptan succinate) Injection 4mg administered using the IMITREX STATdose System® and a TREXIMA tablet followed by IMITREX® (sumatriptan succinate) Injection 6mg administered using the IMITREX STATdose System® compared with an IMITREX Tablet 100mg followed by an IMITREX Tablet 100mg.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject has confirmed or suspected ischemic heart disease; angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction, documented silent ischemia, Prinzmetal's angina-coronary vasospasm, signs, or symptoms consistent with any of the above.
* Subject has evidence or history of ischemic abdominal syndromes, peripheral vascular disease or Raynaud's syndrome.
* Subject has cardiac arrhythmias requiring medication or a history of a clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormality that, in the investigator's opinion, contraindicates participation in this study.
* Subject has a history of cerebrovascular pathology including stroke and/or transient ischemic attacks.
* Subject has a history of congenital heart disease.
* Subject has hypertension at screening.
* Subject, in the investigator's opinion, is likely to have unrecognized cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.
* Subject has a history of epilepsy or structural brain lesions which lower the convulsive threshold or treated with an antiepileptic drug for seizure control within 5 years prior to screening.

Note: Excluded from this list are: acetaminophen at doses of less than or equal to 2 grams per day and contraceptives.

* Subject has a hypersensitivity, intolerance, or contraindication to the use of sumatriptan or naproxen sodium or any of their components or any other 5-HT1 receptor agonist.
* Subject has a history of any gastrointestinal surgery that specifically indicates a past history of bleeding, ulceration or perforation.
* Subject has a history of gastric bypass or stapling surgery.
* Subject has a history of GI ulceration in the past six months or gastrointestinal bleeding in the past year.
* Subject has a history of inflammatory bowel disease.
* Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 preceding the first dose of study medication.
* Positive serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin test -females.
* Pregnant, actively trying to become pregnant or breast-feeding.

* History of regular alcohol consumption exceeding 7 drinks per week for females or 14 drinks per week for men within 6 months of screening.
* Positive urine drug screen including alcohol at screening.
* Donation of blood in excess of 500 mL within 56 days prior to first dose of study medication.
* Subjects who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day.
* History of sensitivity to heparin, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or sensitivity to any of the study medications or components thereof.
