About Zolitas ODS 5 Disintegrating Strip 1's

Zolitas ODS 5 Disintegrating Strip 1's belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antimigraine' used to prevent migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting.

Hormonal changes, stress, bright lights, loud sounds, and certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches.
