Zomig Nasal Spray contains zolmitriptan, a fast-acting triptan used to treat migraines. It is absorbed through the nose, helping calm pain pathways and narrow widened blood vessels. This makes it particularly helpful when nausea or vomiting makes swallowing tablets difficult. It works best when taken early in an attack.

Zomig Nasal Spray is one of the fastest migraine treatments available, with many people feeling improvement within 10-15 minutes. Because it bypasses the stomach, it works even when digestion slows during an attack. Early use, ideally when symptoms first begin, usually leads to better relief and lower recurrence.

Insert the nozzle gently into one nostril, close the other nostril with a finger, and press the plunger once to release the full dose. Breathe in lightly as you spray. Do not sniff hard afterwards, as this can reduce absorption. Use it as soon as migraine pain starts for best results.

Common side effects include tingling, warmth, dizziness, and a temporary taste or smell change. Some people may feel tired or slightly heavy-limbed. Serious effects such as chest pain or breathing problems are rare but need urgent medical help. If side effects persist or worsen, a clinician may suggest another triptan.

It is unsuitable for people with heart disease, previous stroke, circulation problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or certain rhythm disorders. It may also interact with antidepressants or other migraine medicines. A prescriber will review your medical history to confirm it is safe for you.

Yes. A second dose can be taken after the recommended interval if your migraine improves then returns, as long as you stay within the daily maximum. Frequent recurrence may mean another triptan or a different treatment approach could suit you better.

Many people find nasal spray more effective when nausea or vomiting is strong because it avoids the stomach and begins working faster. This can be especially helpful during intense or fast-building migraines where tablets may take longer to absorb.

Yes. Because Zomig Nasal Spray is absorbed through the nose, it avoids the stomach entirely and remains effective even if you are vomiting or unable to swallow. This makes it a strong option for people whose migraines quickly trigger nausea or gastric upset.

Yes. Nasal spray is ideal for sudden, intense migraines or those that begin on waking because it works very quickly and does not rely on digestion. Many people use it as a rapid-response option for morning attacks.

It is usually best taken once headache pain begins rather than during aura. However, having the spray ready during aura means you can treat the headache the moment it starts, which often reduces severity and shortens the attack.

Mild congestion usually does not stop absorption, but very heavy blockage may slow it slightly. The medicine still reaches the nasal membranes, so many people with sinus-related symptoms continue to get effective results. If congestion is severe, alternative forms may be easier.

Yes. Zomig Nasal Spray can be stored at room temperature and is convenient for travel, commuting or situations where quick access matters. Keep it in its packaging and avoid excessive heat. Its portability makes it useful for unpredictable migraines.

Simple painkillers or anti-sickness medicines can usually be taken at the same time, though stronger painkillers or other migraine treatments may require spacing. Avoid codeine, as it increases the risk of medication-overuse headache.

A brief bitter taste or smell change is common because a small amount of the spray can run down the throat. It is harmless and usually passes quickly. Rinsing your mouth after the dose may help if the taste bothers you.

A second dose may help if taken after the advised interval. If migraines regularly return after temporary improvement, another triptan or a longer-acting option may be more suitable. Keeping a diary can help identify patterns.
