SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Zolmitriptan 2.5 mg orodispersible tablets 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each 2.5 mg orodispersible tablet contains 2.5 mg zolmitriptan. Excipient(s) with known effect: aspartame (4 mg). For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Orodispersible tablet. White, round flat tablets with the diameter 7.5 mm. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Acute treatment of migraine headache with or without aura. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION POSOLOGY The recommended dose of zolmitriptan to treat a migraine attack is 2.5 mg. If symptoms persist or return within 24 hours, a second dose of zolmitriptan has been shown to be effective. If a second dose if required, it should not be taken within 2 hours of the initial dose. If a patient does not achieve satisfactory relief with 2.5mg doses, subsequent attacks can be treated with 5mg doses of zolmitriptan. Zolmitriptan is equally effective whenever the tablets are taken during a migraine attack; although it is advisable that zolmitriptan is taken as early as possible after the onset of migraine headache. In the event of recurrent attacks, it is recommended that the total intake of zolmitriptan in a 24-hour period should not exceed 10 mg. Zolmitriptan is not indicated for prophylaxis of migraine._ _ _ _ _Paediatric population (_Children below the age of 12 years) The safety and efficacy of zolmitriptan in children aged 0-12 years has not yet been established.
