What are Maxalt tablets


Maxalt (rizatriptan) is part of the triptan family of medicines, created specifically for the acute treatment of migraine attacks. It is not a general painkiller - it directly targets the migraine process itself.

Maxalt works by:

  • Narrowing widened blood vessels in the brain
  • Calming overactive nerve signals
  • Reducing migraine pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound


It is intended for use at the onset of a migraine, not for preventing attacks.

Directions

  • Take one 10mg tablet at the first sign of migraine symptoms.
  • If the migraine returns, a second tablet may be taken after 2 hours.
  • Do not exceed 2 tablets in 24 hours.
  • Swallow with water.


Maxalt Melt (the orally disintegrating form) may be an option for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Not suitable for children under 18. Always follow the advice of your prescriber.

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Maxalt can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. Most side effects are mild and settle quickly.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Drowsiness or fatigue
  • Dizziness or light-headedness
  • Warm flushes

 

Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Dry mouth
  • Indigestion
  • Chest or throat tightness (usually mild and temporary)

 

Rare but serious (seek medical advice immediately):

  • Signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing
  • Chest pain, pressure, or irregular heartbeat

 

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine. If you notice anything unusual or concerning, stop using the medicine and seek medical advice promptly. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Warnings

Maxalt may not be suitable if you:

  • Are under 18 or over 65
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding (unless advised by your prescriber)
  • Have heart disease, high blood pressure, or a history of stroke
  • Take other migraine medicines (e.g., other triptans or ergot derivatives)
  • Are on SSRIs or SNRIs (antidepressants), due to the risk of serotonin syndrome
  • Have severe liver or kidney problems


Always provide your prescriber with your full medical history.
