Overview
What Is Rizatriptan?
Rizatriptan is a fast-acting migraine headache relief treatment. Rizatriptan tablets alleviate common symptoms including pain and pressure in the head, increased sensitivity to light or sound, nausea and vomiting. Rizatriptan belongs to a group of drugs called Triptans or Serotonin receptor agonists. These work by reversing the changes in the brain which cause migraines, rather than just concealing the pain as regular pain killers do. Rizatriptan migraine tablets provide fast-acting relief in just 30 minutes, allowing you to carry on with your daily life. Rizatriptan is the generic version of the popular branded migraine treatment Maxalt and is just as effective but at a more cost-effective price.
How does Rizatriptan Work?
Rizatriptan works by stimulating receptors called serotonin (or 5HT) receptors that are found in the brain, which causes the blood vessels in the brain to contract. The narrowing of the blood vessels reverses the widening, which is thought to be one of the causes of migraines.

FAQ
How to take Sumatriptan?
Sumatriptan is taken by mouth. Only one tablet is taken at the first sign of migraine. If no improvement after 2 hours from taking the first tablet, then may take a second one.
How long does it take for Sumatriptan pill to kick in?
Sumatriptan is a quick-acting anti-migraine medication. It acts rapidly within just 30 minutes after oral administration.
Can migraine be cured permanently?
Since migraine has no definitive cause, there is no 'cure' for migraine. However, migraine can be 'treated' and managed using safe and effective medications available, that work to decrease its frequency and pain intensity.
Can Sumatriptan prevent migraine?
Sumatriptan is a 'pain killer' that is used exclusively for treating the pain of migraine. Therefore, if you are not experience migraine pain or symptoms of migraine aura, then there is no point of taking Sumatriptan pills. No matter how many pills you take, it will not prevent the next migraine.
What is cluster headache? Can Sumatriptan treat cluster headache?
Cluster headaches are attacks of severe agonizing pain starting on one side of the head around the eye and frontal region, and spreading gradually to the same side of the head and neck.
Cluster headaches are usually associated with conjunctival redness, excessive tears, and nasal discharge.
Unlike migraine, cluster headache attacks are brief (minutes to hours) and affect middle-aged males mainly (90%).
The attacks occur in regular 'clusters', i.e. every 24 hours for a few weeks or months. Each cluster is followed by 6-12 months, during which the patient is completely free of symptoms.
Sumatriptan is among the most effective ways to treat cluster headaches.
What can you do to prevent attacks?
Naturopathic approaches like acupuncture, massage, relaxation, and physiotherapy can decrease the frequency of migraine attacks.
Simple lifestyle modifications can improve your migraine, and decrease its frequency. These modifications include getting enough sleep, avoiding physical and mental stress, adjusting home illumination so it doesn’t trigger your migraine, avoiding noise, practicing meditation or yoga, and taking notes about your headache that helps you know more about what are the triggers for your migraine.
What are other drugs available for treating migraine?
Drugs like Propranonol and Pizotifin are used between the attacks to prevent new migraine attacks.
These drugs are used only if the attacks occur two or more times per month, or if the migraine is complicated by some serious neurological signs.
Causes
Causes and Risk factors for Migraine
There are no definitive causes of migraine. Migraine is attributed to the presence of multiple causes and triggers (genetics, environmental, psychological, dietary), rather than a single factor.
Genetics
Studies of migraine incidence show that if one of two twins suffers from migraine, the other has a risk ranging from 30% to 50% for developing a migraine. This suggests that genetic factors play a role in the initiation or worsening of the disease, as twins have the same exact genes. In the same way, if you have a family history for migraine, then you are at increased risk.
Psychological triggers
Attacks of a sharp headache for people with migraine may increase significantly if the patient is subjected to stress, hunger, or fatigue. However, this varies from one patient to another.
Dietary trigger for Migraine
The direct dietary trigger for your migraine can be difficult to identify. However, the common dietary triggers include caffeine, chocolate, aged cheese and meats, spicy foods, alcohol, MSG, citrus fruits, and foods/drinks containing aspartame.
How to diagnose Migraine?
Migraine is diagnosed mainly by history and symptoms, as migraine headache usually occurs with no clear underlying cause. Blood tests, CT, MRI, or lumbar puncture may be recommended by your doctor to detect any suspected abnormality that worsens the headache, like infection, tumours, or bleeding in the brain.
Your doctors look for the frequency of the attacks, whether they are preceded with aura or not, pain intensity, presence or absences of pulsating pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to lights or sounds.
