Rizatriptan

Rizatriptan, a medicine that is classified as a selective serotonin agonist, can be found in the following categories: It can be used to treat severe throbbing headaches, migraine headaches, nausea caused by the sensitivity of light and sound, as well as severe throbbing headaches. It can only treat migraine headaches that have already started, but it won't reduce the number of headaches.

Rizatriptan should be taken as directed by your doctor. Your doctor will not allow you to take Rizatriptan in lower or higher doses for a longer time than is necessary. Follow all instructions. Migraine headaches can be worsened if you misuse this medication. Do not use the drug if you feel the symptoms are onset or if the migraine attack is already underway.

To monitor if there are any side effects, your doctor can give this medication in a hospital or clinic. If your migraine headaches persist or worsen, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Your migraine headaches may get worse if you take the migraine drug longer than your doctor recommends. This drug and other headache medications should not be taken for more than ten days per month.
