Contents of the pack and other information 1. WHAT ZOLMITRIPTAN SANOFI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Zolmitriptan Sanofi contains active substance zolmitriptan and belongs to a group of medicines called triptans. Zolmitriptan Sanofi is used to TREAT MIGRAINE ATTACKS (headache and nausea). Migraine symptoms may be caused by swollen blood vessels in the head. Zolmitriptan Sanofi reduces 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. Zolmitriptan Sanofi works only when a migraine attack has started. It will not stop you from getting an attack. 2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE Baca dokumen lengkap
SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Zolmitriptan Sanofi 2.5 mg film-coated tablets 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each tablet contains 2.5 mg of zolmitriptan. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Film-coated tablet Yellow, round shaped, biconvex film coated tablets of 7.5 ± 0.3 mm diameter and with “2.5” debossed on one side and plain on other side. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Zolmitriptan Sanofi is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine headache with or without aura. Zolmitriptan Sanofi is not indicated for prophylaxis of migraine. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Posology: The recommended dose is 2.5 mg Zolmitriptan Sanofi. It is advisable that Zolmitriptan Sanofi 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 zolmitriptan, for subsequent attacks doses of 5 mg Zolmitriptan Sanofi could be considered. The total daily intake should not exceed 10 mg. Not more than 2 doses should be taken in any 24 hour period. Special populations: _PATIENTS AGED OVER 65 YEARS_ Safety and efficacy of Zolmitriptan Sanofi in individuals aged over 65 years have not been established. Use of Zolmitriptan Sanofi in the elderly is therefore not recommended. _PATIENTS WITH HEPATIC IMPAIRMENT_ Metabolism of zolmitript Baca dokumen lengkap
