Product Overview
Maxalt 5mg Tablets contain rizatriptan and are used for the acute treatment of the headache phase of migraine attacks in adults.
Maxalt 5mg Tablets contain rizatriptan, which belongs to a class of medicines called selective serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists. The official leaflet states that Maxalt 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 is intended for use once a migraine attack has started. The leaflet specifically says it should not be used to prevent an attack.
The leaflet describes Maxalt 5mg tablets as pale pink, capsule-shaped tablets, coded MAXALT on one side and MSD 266 on the other. It also states that tablet pack sizes include 2, 3, 6, 12 or 18 tablets, so a 6-tablet pack is part of the listed pack range.
