MAXALT is a prescription medication used to treat acute migraine headaches in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans, which work by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
MAXALT works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, which helps to reduce inflammation and constrict blood vessels. This action helps alleviate migraine symptoms such as severe headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
MAXALT is intended for use by adults who have been diagnosed with migraines. It is not used to prevent migraines or to treat cluster headaches. Consult a healthcare professional to determine if MAXALT is suitable for you.
MAXALT should be taken at the first sign of a migraine headache. It is available in tablet form and should be swallowed whole with water. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and frequency of use.
Common side effects of MAXALT may include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, or nausea. If you experience severe side effects such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or severe stomach pain, seek medical attention immediately.
Before using MAXALT, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products. Certain medications can interact with MAXALT, increasing the risk of side effects.
Before taking MAXALT, inform your healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or liver disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider.
Store MAXALT at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiration date on the package.
