Description
Maxalt Melt (Rizatriptan) is a popular alternative to tablet migraine relief medications. Rizatriptan belongs to a class of medications known as triptans, which also includes the market-leading brand, Imigran. Triptans work to actively reverse the changes in the brain that occur when a migraine strikes and work as selective serotonin 5-HT receptor agonists.
In simple terms, Maxalt Melt and other triptan medications work by stimulating receptors in the brain that contract blood vessels and reverse the dilation of the vessels that occurs during migraines. Unlike painkilling medications such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, triptans do not simply mask the pain. However, Maxalt Melt is distinct from tablet forms of migraine treatment as they are known as oral lyophilisates – or melt-in-the-mouth medication.

Maxalt Melt is suited to those who require fast and reliable relief from the pain and discomfort of migraines and particularly those who struggle to ingest tablets.
