Zolmitriptan is an effective migraine treatment. It is designed to treat the acute phase of a migraine attack, particularly moderate to severe cases.
Migraines are more than just headaches. They often come with nausea, visual disturbances, and heightened sensitivity to light or sound. Zolmitriptan directly addresses these symptoms by reversing the underlying vascular changes in the brain.
How It Works
Zolmitriptan is a 5HT1B/1D receptor agonist that works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain, reducing inflammation, and stopping the transmission of pain signals. It acts similarly to the body’s natural serotonin and helps restore vascular balance during a migraine attack.
Why Choose Zolmitriptan Tablets
Zolmitriptan is widely recommended for treating migraines due to its balance of speed, effectiveness, and tolerability. It is particularly useful for:
Fast onset of relief, typically within 45 minutes
Flexible dosing for tailored treatment
Clinically proven across various migraine types
Suitable for migraine with or without aura
The tablets are discreet and travel-friendly, making it a practical choice for on-the-go relief.
Important Note
Zolmitriptan is only effective when taken at the start of a migraine. It should not be used as a preventative measure. Overuse may cause medication-overuse headache (MOH). Patients with cardiovascular risk should be assessed before starting treatment.
The tablets should be taken as soon as migraine symptoms begin. If one dose doesn’t work, do not take a second for the same episode. Wait until a new migraine occurs.
