Overview

When a migraine strikes, swallowing a tablet can feel impossible. Zolmitriptan Orodispersible Tablets melt gently on your tongue without the need for water, making them an easy and effective option for migraine relief. By tackling the brain changes that trigger migraines, they help ease pain, nausea, and sensitivity - often within 45 minutes - so you can find comfort and get back to what matters.


Every request at SwiftMedi is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber via a secure online consultation, with discreet delivery to your door.


What are Zolmitriptan Orodispersible Tablets


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

What makes this form unique:

  • No need for water - dissolves directly on the tongue
  • Ideal if you feel sick, vomit, or cannot swallow during an attack
  • Portable, discreet, and convenient to use anywhere


Like other triptans, Zolmitriptan works by:

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

Directions

  • Place one 2.5mg or 5mg tablet on your tongue at the first sign of a migraine.
  • Allow it to dissolve - no water is needed.
  • If symptoms return, a second dose may be taken after 2 hours.
  • Do not exceed 10mg in 24 hours.


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