At a glance
Zolmitriptan is a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist (a triptan-class drug) used for the acute treatment of migraine, with or without aura, in adults. It relieves an already-started migraine attack but does not prevent migraines.
Indications
Indicated for the acute treatment of migraines with or without aura in adults. Not used for migraine prevention or to reduce the frequency of attacks.
Dosage
Tablet: The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg. Maximum single dose is 5 mg. If the migraine has not resolved 2 hours after taking the dose, or returns after transient improvement, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first. Maximum daily dose is 10 mg in any 24-hour period. Nasal Spray: Administer one dose of 5 mg nasal spray for acute migraine. If headache returns, the dose may be repeated after 2 hours. Maximum daily dose should not exceed 10 mg in any 24-hour period. A single 5 mg dose administered into one nostril has been shown effective for acute migraine in adults. Doses lower than 5 mg can only be achieved with the oral formulation; choice of dose and route should be individualized. Safety of treating an average of more than 4 headaches in a 30-day period has not been established.
Side effects
The most common adverse reactions were: Neck/throat/jaw pain or pressure Dizziness Paresthesia Asthenia (weakness) Somnolence Warm/cold sensation Nausea Heaviness sensation Dry mouth
Precautions & warnings
There have been rare reports of serious cardiac adverse reactions, including acute myocardial infarction, occurring within a few hours following administration. Sensations of tightness, pain, and pressure may occur in the chest, throat, neck, and jaw after treatment - these are usually not cardiac in origin, but should be evaluated promptly if they occur. Overuse (more than 10 days/month) may lead to medication-overuse headache. Before treating patients with atypical migraine symptoms, exclude other potentially serious neurological conditions. Clearance is reduced in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl 5-25 mL/min); use with caution. Use with caution and adjusted dosing in moderate to severe hepatic impairment.
