Relpax 40 mg Tablet

Relpax 40 mg Tablet is a prescription anti-migraine medicine that contains 40 mg of eletriptan in each tablet. It belongs to the triptan class, which is used to treat migraine attacks in adults once a headache has started, with or without aura. Relpax 40 mg Tablet is not meant to prevent migraines or to treat other types of headaches.

How it works: Eletriptan works by narrowing widened blood vessels in the brain and reducing substances involved in migraine pain and symptoms. As a tablet, Relpax 40 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system to help relieve migraine symptoms after they begin.

Relpax 40 mg Tablet is a higher-strength eletriptan option that a doctor may choose for adults who need stronger treatment for a migraine attack. Because it contains 40 mg in one tablet, it may be preferred when a lower-strength option is not enough, but it is still taken only as directed for an active migraine attack. If a lower dose is appropriate, your prescriber may choose that instead based on your history and how you respond.

• Treatment of migraine attacks in adults
• Migraine pain relief

Relpax 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of eletriptan per tablet, and the exact dose schedule is decided by the prescriber based on your migraine history and response.
