Description of Zolmitriptan

What is Zolmitriptan?

Zolmitriptan is a medication used for relieving symptoms of migraines. It is a classified active ingredient belonging to the selective serotonin receptor agonists drug class.

How does it work?

Zolmitriptan works by binding to specific serotonin receptors 1B/1D in the brain. By activating these receptors, zolmitriptan helps to constrict the blood vessels in the brain that have become swollen/widened during a migraine attack, thereby reducing inflammation and pain associated with migraines.

Is Zolmitriptan right for me?

Zolmitriptan does not prevent a migraine attack however, it works effectively to reduce symptoms produced by a migraine attack.

However, it may not be suitable for you if you have the following:

  • If you are allergic to the active ingredient
  • suffer with high blood pressure
  • have liver or kidney problems
  • taking any other migraine medication e.g. ergotamine or ergot type medications
