Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
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.
Side Effects
Most common adverse reactions were neck/throat/jaw pain or pressure, dizziness, paresthesia, asthenia, somnolence, warm/cold sensation, nausea, heaviness sensation, and dry mouth.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Rare but serious heart-related side effects, including heart attack, have been reported within a few hours of taking Zolmit. Some patients have felt tightness, pain, or pressure in the chest, throat, neck, or jaw after treatment.
Contraindications
Contraindicated for use in people with ischemic heart disease or a past stroke, in those currently taking (or who have recently taken) a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, and in anyone known to be hypersensitive to Zolmitriptan.
