CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
‘Zomig Rapimelt’ is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine
with or without
aura.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dose of ‘Zomig Rapimelt’ to treat a migraine
attack is 2.5 mg.
‘Zomig Rapimelt’ rapidly dissolves when placed on the tongue and
is swallowed
with the patient’s saliva. A drink of water is not required when
taking ‘Zomig
Rapimelt’. ‘Zomig Rapimelt’ can be taken when water is not
available thus
allowing early administration of treatment for a migraine attack. This
formulation
may also be beneficial for patients who suffer from nausea and are
unable to drink
during a migraine attack, or for patients who do not like swallowing
conventional
tablets.
If symptoms persist or return within 24 hours, a second dose of
zolmitriptan has
been shown to be effective. If a second dose is required, it should
not be taken
within 2 hours of the initial dose.
If a patient does not achieve satisfactory relief with 2.5 mg doses,
subsequent
attacks can be treated with 5 mg doses of ‘Zomig Rapimelt’. In
those patients who
respond, significant efficacy is apparent within 1 hour of dosing with
zolmitriptan.
Zolmitriptan is equally effective whenever the tablets are taken
during a migraine
attack; although it is advisable that ‘Zomig Rapimelt’ is taken as
early as possible
after the onset of migraine headache.
