Rizatriptan is a fast-acting medicine that relieves migraine attacks. It eases headache pain, sickness and sensitivity to light and sound.

How does it work?
Rizatriptan narrows the swollen blood vessels around the brain and blocks the release of pain-causing chemicals from nerves.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not take it if you have heart disease, angina, a previous heart attack or stroke, poor circulation, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
- Do not take it within 24 hours of another triptan or an ergotamine medicine.
- Taking it with antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs) can rarely cause serotonin syndrome.
- It only treats a migraine that has started. It does not prevent migraines.
- Using migraine medicines on more than 10 days a month can cause "medication overuse headache".
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Tell your doctor if you take propranolol. You will need the lower 5 mg dose.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Rizact can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Tingling, warmth or heaviness in any part of the body
- Tightness or pressure in the chest, throat or jaw (usually short-lived)
- Dizziness or sleepiness
- Feeling sick
- Dry mouth
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Severe chest pain or pressure that does not go away quickly
- Sudden weakness, numbness or trouble speaking
- Fever, shaking, confusion and fast heartbeat (serotonin syndrome)
- Severe stomach pain or bloody diarrhoea
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take one tablet as soon as the migraine headache starts. Swallow the regular tablet with water, or let the melt tablet dissolve on your tongue.
- The usual adult dose is 10 mg (5 mg if you take propranolol).
- If the migraine comes back, you can take a second dose at least 2 hours after the first.
- Do not take more than 20 mg in 24 hours.
If you miss a dose: This medicine is only taken when you have a migraine, so this does not apply.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
- QWhen should I take Rizact?
- A
As soon as the headache part of your migraine starts, while it is still mild. It works best when taken early.
- QWhat if Rizact doesn't work for my migraine?
- A
Do not take a second dose for the same attack. Speak to your doctor, who may suggest a different dose or medicine.
- QCan I take Rizact every day?
- A
No. Taking migraine medicines too often can cause more headaches. If you have many migraines, ask about preventive treatment.
