Zolmitriptan 5mg Nasal Spray

Product Introduction

Zolmitriptan Nasal Spray 5mg is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks. It helps relieve migraine headache and associated symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light or sound after an attack begins. The nasal route can be helpful when nausea, vomiting, or rapid-onset migraine makes oral tablets difficult to use. Zolmitriptan is not a daily prevention medicine and should not be used to prevent future migraine attacks. It belongs to the triptan group of medicines and works by acting on serotonin receptors involved in migraine pain pathways. Do not use it for hemiplegic or basilar migraine, uncontrolled high blood pressure, ischemic heart disease, previous stroke or TIA, peripheral vascular disease, or with recent ergot medicines, other triptans, or MAO-A inhibitors.

How to use

Use Zolmitriptan Nasal Spray 5mg exactly as advised by the doctor. Administer the spray into one nostril at the start of migraine symptoms. Follow the prescribed limit for repeat doses and maximum daily use.

How it works

Zolmitriptan is a triptan. It acts on serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptors, narrowing dilated cranial blood vessels and reducing migraine pain signaling.

Common side effects

Common effects include unusual taste, nasal discomfort, tingling, dizziness, sleepiness, warmth, tightness, dry mouth, or throat sensations. Seek urgent care for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, one-sided weakness, severe allergic reaction, or symptoms of serotonin syndrome.

Important information

Use it only for an active migraine attack. Tell the doctor about heart disease, stroke or TIA, uncontrolled blood pressure, liver disease, pregnancy, breastfeeding, antidepressants, ergot medicines, MAO inhibitors, and other triptans.
