Overview

What is Zomig Nasal Spray?

Zomig Nasal Spray contains zolmitriptan 5mg and is used to provide quick relief from migraine symptoms. The nasal spray formulation is especially helpful for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets or who experience nausea and vomiting during migraines. Zomig Nasal Spray is a branded product; currently, there is no generic alternative available. SwiftMedi services are available only for adults aged 18 years and over.


What is a Migraine?

Migraines are neurological episodes characterised by intense headaches, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. They affect approximately 25% of women and 8% of men in the UK. Many sufferers experience an aura—a sensory or visual warning—before the headache begins.


How Does Zomig Nasal Spray Work?

Zolmitriptan belongs to the triptan family of drugs. It works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, causing constriction of dilated blood vessels and relieving migraine pain. Nasal delivery allows for faster absorption than tablets, often providing symptom relief within 15 to 30 minutes. While it does not prevent migraines, Zomig Nasal Spray is safe to use alongside preventative treatments.


How to Use Zomig Nasal Spray 

  • Blow your nose gently before use if it feels blocked.
  • Insert the nozzle approximately 1cm into one nostril, block the other nostril
  • Spray one dose (5mg) into one nostril at the first sign of migraine symptoms.
  • If symptoms persist or return, a second dose may be used after at least two hours.
  • Do not exceed two doses (10mg) within 24 hours.


Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include:

  • Nasal irritation or unpleasant taste
  • Tingling sensations or skin sensitivity
  • Drowsiness, dizziness, or warmth
  • Headache or palpitations
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Muscle aches or weakness
  • Chest, throat, or limb tightness or pressure


If side effects worsen or persist, stop use and consult your healthcare professional.
