Zolmitriptan

Zolmitriptan is a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist, commonly known as a migraine medication. It is available in tablet form, typically taken during a migraine attack. Zolmitriptan works by narrowing blood vessels around the brain, reducing inflammation, and blocking pain pathways, which can help alleviate migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Zolmitriptan is specifically designed for the acute treatment of migraine headaches in adults. It is not intended for the prevention of migraines or for the treatment of other types of headaches or pain. Zolmitriptan should only be used as needed, and not on a regular basis, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
When using zolmitriptan, follow the prescribed dosage and instructions carefully. The medication should be taken at the first sign of a migraine attack, and it is generally most effective when taken within the first 4 hours. Some common side effects of zolmitriptan may include dizziness, tingling or numbness, dry mouth, and feelings of warmth or cold.
