Description

Zomig 5mg Nasal Spray is used for the acute treatment of migraines with or without aura in adults. It contains zolmitriptan, a selective serotonin receptor agonist from the triptan family. This medication works by constricting dilated blood vessels in the brain and blocking pain signals associated with migraines. The nasal spray format provides rapid relief, often within 15 minutes, making it an ideal option for those experiencing nausea or vomiting during an attack or who need faster absorption than oral tablets.

Key Uses:

  • Migraine Relief: For the quick relief of migraine symptoms, including headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
  • Fast-Acting Nasal Spray: Provides rapid symptom control, ideal for people who need quick relief.
  • Convenient for Nausea: Bypasses the digestive system, making it suitable for individuals who experience nausea or vomiting with migraines.

  • Zomig Nasal Spray 5 mg: Contains one dose of zolmitriptan in a single-use nasal spray device.
