Rizact 10 mg Tablet

Rizact 10 mg Tablet is an oral prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of rizatriptan in each tablet. It belongs to the triptan class, which is used to treat migraine attacks once they start. Rizact 10 mg Tablet is not a preventive medicine, and it is not meant to treat a regular headache or cluster headache. It is used to relieve migraine pain and associated symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light or sound.

How it works: Rizatriptan works by narrowing widened blood vessels around the brain and reducing the release of pain-related signals during a migraine attack. As a tablet, Rizact 10 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help relieve migraine symptoms after they begin.

Rizact 10 mg Tablet is the higher tablet strength in this brand compared with Rizact 5 mg Tablet. Doctors may choose the 10 mg tablet for adults who need a stronger single dose, especially if a lower strength is not enough to control migraine symptoms. Because this is a higher strength, it should be used only when a clinician has decided it is appropriate for the patient.

• Treatment of migraine attacks
• Relief of migraine headache pain
• Help with nausea linked to migraine

• Swallow Rizact 10 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it as soon as migraine symptoms begin for best effect.
• Do not take it to prevent a migraine before symptoms start.
• If the migraine returns, ask your doctor whether a second dose is allowed for you.

Each Rizact 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of rizatriptan per tablet. The doctor decides whether this strength is right for you and how many tablets you may take in a day; dosing depends on age, other medicines, and migraine history. In many adults, a second dose may be allowed after a waiting period if the migraine comes back, but the total amount in 24 hours must not exceed the limit your prescriber gives you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
