ZOMIG NASAL SPRAY 5MG 2X3


ZOMIG NASAL SPRAY 5MG

Zomig Nasal Spray is administered as a single dose into one nostril. Zomig Nasal Spray provides particularly rapid onset of relief of a migraine with the first signs of efficacy apparent within 15 minutes of dosing.

Zomig Nasal Spray provides an alternative non–oral formulation of zolmitriptan to that of Zomig oral tablets and orodispersible tablets. This formulation may also be beneficial where a non–oral route of treatment is either needed or preferred.

If symptoms persist or return within 24 hours a second dose has been shown to be effective. If a second dose is required, it should not be taken within 2 hours of the initial dose.

Zomig Nasal Spray is effective whenever the nasal spray is administered during a migraine attack; although it is advisable that Zomig Nasal Spray is taken as early as possible after the onset of a migraine headache.

In the event of recurrent attacks, it is recommended that the total intake of Zomig Nasal Spray in a 24 hour period should not exceed 10 mg.

Zomig Nasal Spray is not indicated for prophylaxis of a migraine.

  • Put the nozzle of the nasal spray into the other nostril as far as feels comfortable.
  • Tilt your head back slightly and close your mouth

In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • If you take a triptan other than Zomig Nasal Spray (such as sumatriptan or naratriptan) leave 24 hours before using Zomig Nasal Spray.
  • After using Zomig Nasal Spray leave 24 hours before taking another triptan.
  • If you take medicines containing ergotamine or ergot-type medicines (such as dihydroergotamine or methysergide), leave 24 hours before using Zomig Nasal Spray.

Driving and using machines

During a migraine attack your reactions may be slower than usual. Bear this in mind when you drive or use any tools or machines.
