About Zolitas ODS 2.5 Strip 1's

Zolitas ODS 2.5 Strip 1's belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antimigraine' used to prevent migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine is a neurological condition characterized 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. Hormonal changes, stress, bright lights, loud sounds, and certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches. 

Zolitas ODS 2.5 Strip 1's contains Zolmitriptan. It works by constricting blood vessels around the brain, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain, and preventing the release of certain natural substances that cause pain, nausea, and other migraine symptoms.
