How does Relpax help with migraines?

Eliptran works as medications for migraines by specifically attaching to the serotonin receptors (5 HT1B and 5 HT1D). When triptans bind to the vascular 5 HT1B receptors, they cause a narrowing of the cranial arteries that usually expand and cause pain during a migraine episode.

Is it safe to use triptans daily?

It is not recommended to use Relpax for more than two days per week or more than ten days per month. If they are needed more frequently, it might be beneficial to consider a daily preventative medication for migraines. Using triptans excessively can increase the risk of certain heart issues, which is why some individuals should avoid them.

Do all migraines respond well to triptans?

Even though the introduction of triptans was a significant advancement in treating acute migraines, they are not a universal solution. Only about one-third of patients experience complete pain relief within two hours after taking a triptan, and around one-fourth of migraine sufferers do not see any improvement with these medications at all.

What are the common triggers for migraines?

While various foods and drinks can trigger migraines in different individuals, there are five commonly known triggers called 'The 5 C's of migraines': cheese, chocolate, coffee, cola (like Coke) and citrus fruits. Additionally, red wine (known as claret) is often considered another potential trigger.

Relpax/Relert (eletriptan) is prescribed to treat the headache phase of a migraine attack. Eletriptan belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans. Triptans act as antimigraine agents by selectively binding to serotonin receptors in the brain. Cranial arteries become dilated during a migraine attack, leading to the pain. By binding to vascular receptors, eletriptan triggers vasoconstriction of the cranial arteries and lowers the level of the migraine attack. It also reduces substances in the body that can trigger pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.

Eliptran works to lower the symptoms of an active migraine episode but does not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks. It should not be used to treat tension headaches or any other headaches that seem different from normal migraine attacks.

Dosage

The usual initial dose once a migraine attack has started is one tablet (20 mg or 40 mg) as prescribed. If the first tablet does not relieve the migraine, do not take a second tablet for the same migraine attack. As long as there was some improvement after the first dose; a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours later if the pain returns. However, the maximum dose is 160 mg in any one 24-hour period. This medicine is not intended for patients over 65 years of age or children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
