RIZACT 5mg Tablet 4’s

RIZACT 5mg Tablet contains Rizatriptan, a selective serotonin receptor agonist (triptan) used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain and reducing the release of pain-triggering substances, providing relief from migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.

This medication is not a preventive treatment but is effective when taken at the onset of a migraine attack.

How It Works
