About Zolpax 0.7Ml Md Nasal Spray

Zolpax 0.7Ml Md Nasal Spray belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antimigraine agents' 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.
