What is Zolmitriptan?

Zolmitriptan is a triptan medication prescribed for the relief of migraine attacks. It works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, causing blood vessels to constrict and reducing inflammation, thereby alleviating migraine pain and associated symptoms. At SwiftMedi, we offer generic Zolmitriptan tablets as a cost-effective alternative to the branded Zomig tablets. Both are clinically equivalent in effectiveness. SwiftMedi services are available only for adults aged 18 years and over.

What is a Migraine?

Migraines affect around 25% of women and 8% of men in the UK, causing severe throbbing headaches, nausea, and sensitivity to light, sound, and smells. Many sufferers experience an aura—visual or sensory warning signs—before the headache begins. Migraines can be triggered by factors like diet, alcohol, caffeine, stress, and hormonal changes.

How Does Zolmitriptan Work?

Zolmitriptan belongs to a group of medicines called serotonin agonists. It stimulates serotonin receptors in the brain, causing narrowed blood vessels and reducing migraine symptoms. It is most effective when taken early in a migraine attack but can provide relief if taken later during an episode. Zolmitriptan does not prevent migraines but is safe to use alongside preventative treatments.
