Hi Jose,
Best way to find out: call the manufacturers! Glaxo Wellcome for Imitrex etc. They will provide you with the information you are looking for.
Overhere (Holland) we know such a thing as a "medication passport" with texts in a zilion languages explaining that the bearer of this passport must carry blablabla. Get yourselve the local equivalent of that, it will avoid a lot of problems. Realise that carrying syringes, even in the form of injectionpens like Imitrex, can cause you a lot of problems, aspecialy in India and Kashmir, where "the hippies go and the poppies grow" if you know what I mean.
Another thing, make sure you are covered for medication abroad. Paying cash is the only other alternative.
Wishing you a good and painfree trip! Rob.
