Rizatriptan ODT Medication Description
Rizatriptan ODT (orally disintegrating tablets) is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches, particularly when nausea or vomiting makes swallowing tablets difficult. As a triptan, it works by narrowing widened blood vessels in the brain and blocking pain pathways, which helps relieve migraine symptoms such as headache, light sensitivity, and nausea. The orally disintegrating tablet dissolves on the tongue, allowing for quick and convenient administration without the need for water.
Rizatriptan ODT is intended for use at the first sign of migraine pain and is not for the prevention of migraine attacks or for the treatment of chronic headaches.
