Rizact

Product Description

Rizact is a pharmaceutical formulation containing the active component Rizatriptan. As part of the triptan class of medications, it is specifically designed for the acute treatment of migraine attacks. This therapeutic agent alleviates migraine symptoms once they occur, rather than serving as a prophylactic measure against migraine onset.

Uses

Rizact is clinically indicated for the acute management of migraine headaches in adult patients, including those presenting with or without aura. The term ‘aura’ refers to neurological symptoms, such as visual disturbances, that frequently precede migraine episodes.

How to Use

Rizact should be administered strictly according to medical prescription. The optimal time for administration is at the initial manifestation of migraine symptoms. The tablet should be ingested intact with sufficient water. In cases of recurrent or persistent symptoms, a secondary dose may be taken after a minimum interval of two hours from the initial dose, with a maximum daily dosage not exceeding 30 mg within any 24-hour period.

How It Works

Rizact exerts its therapeutic effect through vasoconstriction of cerebral blood vessels and inhibition of inflammatory mediators responsible for migraine symptoms. The medication specifically targets serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptors on cranial nerve terminals, thereby modulating pain perception pathways.

Benefits

The principal therapeutic benefit of Rizact lies in its efficacy in aborting acute migraine attacks. The medication provides comprehensive symptom relief, addressing not only cephalalgia but also associated manifestations including photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and emesis.

Common Side Effects

Adverse reactions associated with Rizact may include dizziness, somnolence, asthenia, nausea, or paresthesia. These effects are generally transient and mild in nature. Persistent or severe symptoms warrant immediate medical consultation.

Dosage and Administration

The standard therapeutic regimen for Rizact consists of a single 10 mg tablet administered at migraine onset. A rescue dose may be considered after a two-hour interval if required, with strict adherence to the maximum daily dosage limit of 30 mg.

Warnings

Rizact is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, specific cardiovascular pathologies, or cerebrovascular disorders including stroke or transient ischemic attacks. Comprehensive medical history disclosure and current medication review are essential prior to initiation of therapy.

Storage

Rizact requires storage under controlled room temperature conditions (15°C to 30°C/59°F to 86°F). Maintain the product in its original packaging, shielded from light and humidity, and ensure secure storage away from pediatric access.
