Maxalt (Rizatriptan) is a medicine used to treat headaches, pain and other symptoms of migraine in adults. It is a selective serotonin receptor agonist and works by narrowing dilated blood vessels in the brain, therefore relieving migraine headaches.

Migraine symptoms

Common symptoms of migraine include:

Throbbing or pulsating headache on one side of your head.
Moderate to severe headache intensity.
Worsening of your headache with routine physical activity.
Nausea, vomiting, or both.
Sensitivity to light and noise, and sometimes smells.

Before using Maxalt

You should tell your doctor before using this medicine if you have/had these medical conditions:

Heart disease and stroke.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol.
Chest pain, shortness of breath.
Pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breast-feeding.

How to take Maxalt

Take a one dose of Maxalt as soon as your migraine symptoms appear. A second dose may be taken if there is only a partial response or symptoms of the migraine return. Do not take it sooner than 2 hours after the first dose. Do not exceed more than 30mg in a 24-hour period. Do not take additional doses if you do not get a response from the first dose. Do not increase your dose without first consulting your doctor.
