About Receptan Tablet 4's

Receptan Tablet 4's 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. 
 
Receptan Tablet 4's contains ‘Rizatriptan’ which works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain, thereby providing relief from migraine headaches. Receptan Tablet 4's helps decrease the substances in the body which can trigger headache pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and other migraine symptoms. Receptan Tablet 4's does not prevent or reduce the number of attacks; it only helps in treating a headache that has already begun.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dizziness, tiredness, drowsiness, dry mouth, vomiting, diarrhoea, and pain in the abdomen or chest. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Avoid breastfeeding for 24 hours after the treatment with Receptan Tablet 4's. Receptan Tablet 4's may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. Receptan Tablet 4's is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Receptan Tablet 4's as it could lead to increased drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
