Description of Rizatriptan
What is Rizatriptan?
Rizatriptan is a medication used to treat the headache phase of a migraine. It is an active ingredient belonging to the drugs classed as 'triptans'. Rizatriptan specifically works by selectively activating certain serotonin receptors, known as 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors, which are found on the blood vessels in the brain.
How does it work?
Migraine symptoms are caused by temporary widening of the blood vessels in the head. Rizatriptan causes the blood vessels to constrict, reducing the blood flow to the brain and relieving the symptoms of migraines, such as headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Is Rizatriptan suitable for me?
It is important to note that Rizatriptan is not a preventative medication for migraines and should only be taken when a migraine has already started. It is also not effective for other types of headaches. This medication may not be suitable for you if you have the following:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Liver diseases
- Allergies to the triptans
Dosage of Rizatriptan
Commonly Used Dosage Guidelines for Rizatriptan.
