Zomitan

Adults:

Tablet: The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg. The maximum single dose is 5 mg. If the migraine has not eased within 2 hours of taking Zolmitriptan, or comes back after briefly improving, a second dose may be given at least 2 hours after the first. The maximum dose in any 24 hour period is 10 mg. Nasal Spray: Give one 5 mg dose of Zolmitriptan Nasal Spray for an acute migraine attack. If the headache returns, the dose may be repeated after 2 hours, and the total should not exceed 10 mg in any 24 hour period. In controlled clinical trials, single 5 mg doses of zolmitriptan nasal spray given into one nostril were effective for treating acute migraines in adults. Response to Zolmitriptan Nasal Spray can vary from person to person. A 5 mg nasal spray dose behaves in the body much like a 5 mg oral dose. Doses lower than 5 mg can only be given as an oral formulation, so the dose and route of administration should be chosen for each patient individually. Placebo-controlled trials have not established how effective a second dose is, and the safety of treating more than an average of four headaches within a 30 day period has not been established.
