Description

Zolmitriptan is a prescription triptan used to treat acute migraine attacks with or without aura. It works by narrowing brain blood vessels and blocking pain signals, easing headache, nausea, and light sensitivity. Use at the first sign of migraine—this medication is not for prevention.

Why Choose Zolmitriptan?

Throbbing headaches with nausea and light sensitivity stopping your day?
Other painkillers not working effectively against migraine pain?
Migraines returning before you finish work or daily activities?
Need a fast option that can be repeated after 2 hours if needed?

How Zolmitriptan Works

Zolmitriptan is part of the triptan family. It acts as a serotonin receptor agonist, narrowing cranial blood vessels, reducing inflammation, and blocking pain signals. This helps control multiple migraine symptoms, including headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light.

Who Can Use Zolmitriptan

Zolmitriptan is suitable for adults experiencing acute migraine attacks. It should be avoided by individuals with a history of heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, or circulation issues.
