Product Overview

Rizatop is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Rizatriptan, classified as a triptan-class drug. Specifically designed to treat migraine attacks, it works by constricting blood vessels in the brain and blocking pain pathways. Available as oral tablets, Rizatop effectively alleviates migraine symptoms including severe headache, nausea, and light/sound sensitivity, helping patients regain normal function during attacks.

Uses

Rizatop is indicated for acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. It targets the characteristic throbbing pain and associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia) that define migraine episodes. The medication provides symptomatic relief by reversing the cranial vasodilation believed to contribute to migraine pathophysiology.

How to Use

Take Rizatop tablets orally at migraine onset with water. Swallow whole – do not crush, chew, or split tablets. Follow prescribed dosing carefully. If initial dose fails, consult your physician before redosing. Maximum daily intake should not exceed prescribed limits (typically 10mg/24 hours). Early administration during migraine prodrome yields best results.

Mechanism of Action

Rizatop selectively activates serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptors, causing:
1. Cranial vasoconstriction
2. Inhibition of neuropeptide release
3. Reduced trigeminal nerve activation
This multimodal action interrupts migraine pathophysiology at multiple levels, providing comprehensive symptom relief.

– Initial dose: 5-10mg at symptom onset
