Rizatriptan
Rizatriptan is a triptan used to treat selected migraine attacks.
Key points
- It treats an attack and does not prevent future migraines.
- Heart or vascular disease and interacting migraine or antidepressant medicines affect suitability.
- New neurological deficits or chest pain needs emergency assessment.
Listings are for comparison and general information; suitability and supply depend on clinician and pharmacy checks, monitoring and prescription requirements.
Important safety checks
Migraine diagnosis, cardiovascular risk, uncontrolled blood pressure, liver or kidney disease and interactions require review.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent help for chest pain, one-sided weakness, speech difficulty, fainting or severe agitation with fever and stiffness.
