Zolmitriptan is a selective serotonin receptor agonist used to treat acute migraine attacks, with or without aura, in adults. It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing the release of inflammatory neuropeptides, helping to relieve migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Benefits

Provides rapid relief from migraine headache pain
Reduces associated symptoms like nausea and light/sound sensitivity
Available in multiple formulations: tablet, orally disintegrating tablet, and nasal spray
Can be taken at the onset of migraine for best results
May reduce the need for other pain medications during an attack

Dosage

Initial dose (adults): 2.5 mg by mouth at onset of migraine
If the headache returns, a second dose may be taken after at least 2 hours
Maximum dose: 10 mg in 24 hours
Orally disintegrating tablets can be taken without water
Nasal spray: typically 2.5 mg in one nostril; may repeat after 2 hours if needed
Not intended for prevention of migraines—use only during acute attacks

Warnings and Precautions

Not recommended in patients with coronary artery disease, stroke, or uncontrolled hypertension
Risk of serotonin syndrome when used with other serotonergic drugs (e.g. SSRIs, SNRIs)
May cause chest pain, pressure, or tightness—seek medical help if severe
Use with caution in patients with liver impairment—dose adjustment may be necessary
Not approved for use in hemiplegic or basilar migraine
Safety not established for use in children or during pregnancy—use only if clearly needed
