Sandoz Rizatriptan ODT How to Take

Rizatriptan belongs to a class of medications known as 5-hydroxytryptamine agonists (also called triptans). It is used to treat migraine Headaches with or without aura (warning signs that occur prior to the onset of a migraine headache). The pain of migraine headaches is thought to be caused by dilated blood vessels inside the head. Rizatriptan relieves migraine headaches by constricting these blood vessels.

Rizatriptan is most effective if taken at the first sign of a migraine headache. It is not recommended for other types of headache or for headache prevention. Relief from the pain associated with migraine may occur as quickly as within 30 minutes, with maximum pain relief occurring about 2 hours after taking the medication.

Sandoz Rizatriptan ODT may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Sandoz Rizatriptan Odt may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Sandoz Rizatriptan Odt may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Sandoz Rizatriptan Odt for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Sandoz Rizatriptan Odt, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Sandoz Rizatriptan Odt without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Sandoz Rizatriptan Odt to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Sandoz Rizatriptan Odt if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Sandoz Rizatriptan ODT Dosage

The recommended adult starting dose of rizatriptan is 5 mg. In some cases, a starting dose of 10 mg may be used. The dose should be taken at the first sign of migraine headache pain. If the migraine headache comes back after being relieved, another dose (5 mg to 10 mg) may be taken no sooner than 2 hours after the first dose was taken.

The maximum recommended single dose is 10 mg. No more than 20 mg of rizatriptan should be taken in any 24-hour period. If your headache pain is different from your usual migraines, call your doctor and do not take rizatriptan. Rizatriptan is not to be used for headache prevention.
