WHAT ZOMIG RAPIMELT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Zomig Rapimelt contains zolmitriptan and belongs to a group of
medicines called triptans.
ZOMIG RAPIMELT IS USED TO TREAT MIGRAINE HEADACHE IN ADULTS AGED 18
YEARS AND OLDER
.

Migraine symptoms may be caused by the widening of blood vessels in
the head. Zomig
Rapimelt is thought to reduce the widening of these blood vessels.
This helps to take away the
headache and other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as feeling or
being sick (nausea or
vomiting) and being sensitive to light and sound.

Zomig Rapimelt works only when a migraine attack has started. It will
not stop you from
getting an attack.

(chest pain caused by

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of 'Zomig Rapimelt' to treat a migraine attack is
2.5 mg. It is advisable that
‘Zomig Rapimelt’ is taken as early as possible after the onset of
migraine headache but it is also
effective if taken at a later stage.
If symptoms of migraine should recur within 24 hours following an
initial response, a second dose
may be taken. If a second dose is required, it should not be taken
within 2 hours of the initial dose. If a
patient does not respond to the first dose, it is unlikely that a
second dose will be of benefit in the same
attack.
If a patient does not achieve satisfactory relief with 2.5 mg doses,
for subsequent attacks 5 mg doses of
'Zomig Rapimelt' could be considered.
The total daily intake should not exceed 10 mg. Not more than 2 doses
of ‘Zomig Rapimelt’ should be
taken in any 24-hour period.
