Product Overview
Maxalt Melt 10mg oral lyophilisates contain rizatriptan and are used for the acute treatment of the headache phase of migraine attacks in adults, with a melt-in-the-mouth format for convenient dosing.
Maxalt Melt 10mg Oral Lyophilisates contain rizatriptan, which belongs to a class of medicines called selective serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists. The official leaflet states that Maxalt Melt is used to treat the headache phase of the migraine attack in adults. It works by reducing swelling of blood vessels surrounding the brain, which is associated with migraine headache pain.
Maxalt Melt is intended for use once a migraine attack has started. The leaflet specifically says it should not be used to prevent an attack. This presentation is designed as an oral lyophilisate, which dissolves in the mouth and can be swallowed with saliva, making it useful when water is not available or when nausea and vomiting make tablets less convenient.
The leaflet describes the 10mg oral lyophilisates as white to off-white, round, with a modified square on one side, and with a peppermint flavour. It also states that pack sizes include 2, 3, 6, 12 or 18 oral lyophilisates, so a 3-tablet pack is part of the listed UK pack range.
