CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Zomig is indicated in adults aged 18 years and older for acute
treatment of migraine headache with or
without aura.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of Zomig tablets to treat a migraine attack is
2.5 mg. It is advisable that
Zomig tablets are taken as early as possible after the onset of
migraine headache but they are 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 could be considered.
The total daily intake should not exceed 10 mg. Not more than 2 doses
of Zomig should be taken in
any 24-hour period.
Zomig is not indicated for prophylaxis of migraine.
