Maxalt (rizatriptan) is a medication used to treat headaches, especially migraines. It works by constricting the blood vessels around the brain. It also reduces substances in the body that can cause headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.
It is important to note that Maxalt only treats a headache that has already begun, i.e., it does not prevent the onset of future headaches or reduce the frequency of headaches.
Therefore, Maxalt should not be used to treat common headaches, tension headaches, or headaches that cause loss of movement on one side of the body. This medication should only be used if a doctor has diagnosed your condition as migraine.
The active ingredient in Maxalt, rizatriptan, is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine1B/1D (5-HT1B/1D) receptor agonist that is widely used to treat migraine pain. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called triptans, which act on a specific natural chemical (serotonin) that causes blood vessels in the brain to constrict.
Maxalt helps relieve headache pain, as well as other symptoms associated with migraine, such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and may relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain. Rapid treatment with this medication will make it easier to return to a normal routine and reduce the need for other painkillers.
Maxalt Precautions and Warnings
This medication, marketed as Maxalt, is used to treat migraines in adults and only in children 6 years of age and older. This drug should not be used by people who are allergic to it, or who have heart problems, severe liver disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, or those who have had a stroke. In addition, those who have used MAO inhibitors in the last 14 days should avoid it due to possible dangerous interactions.
Maxalt should be taken as soon as migraine symptoms begin, strictly following medical indications. In adults, if the pain persists or returns, a second dose may be taken after 2 hours, while for children from 6 to 17 years, it will be necessary to consult with the doctor before repeating the dose. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose as excessive use of migraine medications may worsen headaches.
Also, tell your doctor if you have ever had: liver or kidney disease, heart problems, chest pain, shortness of breath; or risk factors for coronary heart disease (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, menopause, smoking, family history of coronary heart disease, or being overweight).
Also, be sure to tell your doctor if you are taking stimulants, opioids, herbal products, or medicines for depression, mental illness, Parkinson’s disease, migraines, serious infections, or to prevent nausea and vomiting.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if you have more than 4 headaches in 1 month (30 days). If you use Maxalt long-term, your heart function may need to be checked with an electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG).
