Maxalt / Rizalt (rizatriptan) is FDA-approved for the treatment of acute migraine attacks in adults and children over the age of six, with or without aura. Rizatriptan belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans, which are 5HT1-receptor agonists. Triptans act on serotonin (5HT 1B/1D) levels in the brain, leading to the narrowing of the blood vessels in the brain that have swollen and triggered a migraine attack. They are pain-relieving medications that reduce the severity of an ongoing attack, but they do not prevent migraine attacks.

Although the cause of migraine attacks is not fully understood, it is thought that the widening of blood vessels in the brain causes the throbbing pain of migraine headaches. Rizatriptan mimics the action of serotonin, which narrows the blood vessels and relieves the pain of migraine headaches. Rizalt does not prevent migraine attacks and should not be used for the treatment of familial hemiplegic migraine or migraines with brainstem aura (basilar migraines.)

Dosage

The prescribing doctor will determine the dosage regimen. The recommended dose should only be taken once the effects of the migraine attack are starting to be felt. The maximum dosage is 30 mg of rizatriptan in any 24-hour period. Maxalt is the only triptan that is FDA-approved for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Follow the instructions in the Product leaflet for administering the Rizalt tablets and wafers. If a higher dosage has been taken accidentally, or if a child has accidentally swallowed the medicine, go immediately to a doctor or a hospital emergency room along with the drug package.

Rizatriptan may cause some mild side effects, including:

  • nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • throat discomfort
  • neck pain
  • dizziness
  • dry mouth
  • flushing of the face
  • irregular heartbeat (palpitation)
  • feelings of heaviness in parts of the body
  • feelings of tightness in the chest
  • sleepiness

If these or other side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor or pharmacist.

If you experience a sudden allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, tongue, or throat that makes it difficult to breathe or swallow, wheezing, hives, rash, or severe sloughing of the skin, you must report it to a doctor immediately or call 911 and go to an emergency room.

 

Maxalt can be prescribed to people who suffer from migraine attacks, with or without aura. Maxalt is meant to be taken only after a migraine headache has set in.

A migraine attack can occur for any person, and if at least 15 attacks are experienced in a single month, then the diagnosis is of chronic migraine. Some of the more common triggers are the “5 Cs” – cheese, chocolate, caffeine, Coke, and citrus fruits (especially grapefruit.)

All prescribed drugs like Maxalt can do is lower the level of pain and reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. There’s not yet a cure for migraines.

  • Doctors will determine the type of migraine based on the main symptoms. The primary types are: Migraine with aura, where there is a warning sign (an 'aura') that a migraine attack is going to begin. Migraine without aura is the most common type of migraine, where there is no warning. Chronic migraine is diagnosed when there are more than 15 migraine attacks in a single month. Migraine with brainstem aura was previously called basilar-type migraine. It is an uncommon form of migraine with aura along with symptoms such as vertigo or ataxia. Vestibular migraine, with episodes of dizziness, sensations of spinning, floating, internal motion and lightheadedness.
