About RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S

RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S 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. 
 
RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S contains ‘Rizatriptan’ which works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain, thereby providing relief from migraine headaches. RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S helps decrease the substances in the body which can trigger headache pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and other migraine symptoms. RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S does not prevent or reduce the number of attacks; it only helps in treating a headache that has already begun.
 
You are advised to take RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. 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 RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S. RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with RIZACT 5MG TABLET 2S as it could lead to increased drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
