What is Rizact (Rizatriptan) used for?

Rizact (Rizatriptan) is an oral medication prescribed to treat patients suffering from migraines. It operates by narrowing blood vessels around the brain to prevent symptoms associated with this condition such as severe pain, sensitivity to light, or nausea. Your doctor may also prescribe its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Rizact (Rizatriptan)?

Rizact (Rizatriptan) should always be used according to your doctor`s instructions to ensure the safest and most effective results from treatment. One tablet is normally taken at the first sign of a migraine. This dose should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is suggested prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not crush or split the tablets prior to use to avoid destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor any questions you have about using the medication to ensure the correct administration.
