About Dioptan Tablet

Dioptan Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin 5-HT receptor agonists used to treat migraine with or without an aura. Migraine is a neurological condition that is characterised by intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache, which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift. 
 
Dioptan Tablet contains ‘Rizatriptan’ which works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain, thereby providing relief from migraine headaches. Dioptan Tablet helps decrease the substances in the body which can trigger headache pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and other migraine symptoms. Dioptan Tablet does not prevent or reduce the number of attacks; it only helps in treating a headache that has already begun.
