Zolmitriptan
Zolmitriptan is a triptan used to treat an acute migraine attack. It does not prevent future migraines and is not appropriate for every severe headache.
Key points
- Cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease can make triptan-related vessel narrowing unsafe.
- Combining serotonergic medicines can rarely cause serotonin syndrome.
- Frequent acute-migraine medicine use can contribute to medication-overuse headache.
Listings are for comparison only; suitability and supply depend on migraine diagnosis, cardiovascular and interaction checks, prescription and pharmacy review.
What zolmitriptan is used for

When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent help for chest pain, signs of stroke, fainting, a sudden worst-ever headache, severe agitation with fever and stiffness, facial swelling or breathing difficulty.
