Zolmitriptan Medication Description
Zolmitriptan is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. It belongs to a class of medications called triptans, which work by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain to reduce inflammation and constrict blood vessels. This action helps relieve headache pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound associated with migraines. Unlike preventive treatments, zolmitriptan is only intended for use once a migraine has started. Compared to other triptans, it has fewer reported drug interactions and a generally favorable side effect profile.

Usage Instructions

- Not intended for the prevention of migraines or the treatment of cluster headaches

Warnings & Precautions
- Should not be used by individuals with uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, or a history of stroke
- May cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, or tingling sensations
