What are Zolmitriptan tablets

Zolmitriptan belongs to the triptan family (5-HT1 receptor agonists) and is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks, with or without aura.

It works by:

  • Narrowing widened blood vessels in the brain
  • Blocking pain signals carried by overactive nerve pathways
  • Relieving migraine symptoms such as pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light/sound

 

Zolmitriptan is available in oral tablets and orodispersible tablets (melt on the tongue), offering flexibility depending on your needs

Directions

  • Take one 2.5mg or 5mg tablet at the first signs of migraine.
  • If the migraine improves but then returns, a second dose may be taken after 2 hours.
  • Do not take more than 10mg in 24 hours.
  • Tablets should be swallowed whole with water.


Not recommended for children under 18. Always follow your prescriber’s guidance.
