How Rizatriptan Works
Rizatriptan is an approved medication to relieve the pain caused by headaches or migraines. Rizatriptan belongs to a class of medications known as 5-hydroxytryptamine agonists, these types of medication are used to treat migraine headache with or without aura. The pain associated with migraines is thought to be caused by dilated blood vessels inside the head; Rizatriptan relieves migraine headaches by constricting these blood vessels. Maxalt should be taken at the first sign of a headache if possible, and the individual should begin to feel the relief of Maxalt shortly after taking the medication but maximum pain relief should be felt about 2 hours after taking Maxalt.
