About Zolmitriptan

What is Zolmitriptan?

Zolmitriptan is a medication used to treat migraines. It belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans, which work by narrowing blood vessels in the brain to reduce pain and other migraine symptoms.

What is Zolmitriptan used for?

Zolmitriptan is used to relieve the symptoms of migraines. These symptoms can include severe headache, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other associated symptoms.

How does Zolmitriptan work?

Zolmitriptan works by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain. This action causes the blood vessels in the brain to narrow, reducing the pain and other symptoms of migraines.

Who is Zolmitriptan suitable for?

Zolmitriptan is suitable for adults who have been diagnosed with migraines. It is not suitable for use in children or adolescents under the age of 18. Zolmitriptan may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, or a history of stroke.

How to take Zolmitriptan

• Take one Zolmitriptan tablet as soon as you feel a migraine coming on.

• Do not take more than 10mg of Zolmitriptan in a 24-hour period.

It is important to note that Zolmitriptan should not be used to prevent migraines or to treat headaches that are not migraine headaches.
