Zomig (
zolmitriptan) is a powerful triptan medication useful in treating migraine headaches. In some forms, including ODT, Zomig is also used to alleviate pain from cluster headaches.
The ODT in this product stands for
orally dissolving tablets; instead of swallowing a pill, the tablet dissolves in the mouth. This is advantageous for certain patients:
- Patients with difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Patients unable to follow instructions
- Patients unable to consume solids
Additionally, some people prefer to buy Zomig ODT over other forms of the medication simply out of personal preference or an aversion to swallowing pills.
ODT tablets are slightly faster-acting than regular tablets.
How to Use Zomig ODT:
This medication works best if taken at the earliest symptoms of a headache. For migraine sufferers this may be auras or other non-pain symptoms; cluster headaches seldom have warning before pain starts. For both, administration is the same:
- With clean, dry hands remove tablets from the blister pack. Do not remove them until needed; they will absorb moisture from the air and be ruined.
- Allow tablets to dissolve in the mouth. Don't chew or swallow them whole. Sips of a drink will help them dissolve faster.
- Relief should start within 15 to 20 minutes; effects peak at 2 hours.
- If the headache persists after 2 hours, or returns, another dose may be administered.
- Never exceed 10 mg of Zomig in 24 hours.
Cluster headache sufferers in particular will want to buy Zomig ODT over regular tablets; regular tablets are less effective for this type of headache. Zomig in
nasal spray form works even faster.
Zomig is not an approved cluster headache treatment in all areas; clients who buy Zomig ODT from Kiwi Drug are responsible for complying with local laws.
Before Using Zomig ODT:
As with all medications, there are certain risks associated with Zomig ODT use. While side effects are unusual and generally much less severe than migraine symptoms, there are some situations in which Zomig may not be the best solution for all individuals:
- Zomig ODT (but not Zomig tablets or nasal spray) contains aspartame. Do not buy Zomig ODT if aspartame is a known migraine trigger.
- Clients with a history of liver, kidney, or heart disease, blood circulation problems, very high blood pressure, or who have had a recent heart attack or stroke should not buy Zomig ODT without first discussing potential complications with a doctor.
- Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should avoid use unless explicitly instructed otherwise by a doctor.
- Never take multiple kinds of migraine medications without physician approval.
- For some clients Zomig may become less effective over time. Alternating between Zomig and another, similar migraine treatment may restore effectiveness.
The mechanism that makes Zomig work, constricting swollen blood vessels in the brain, only helps certain types of headaches; namely migraines and cluster headaches. Do
not buy Zomig ODT to treat:
- Hemiplegic migraines
- Basilar migraines
- Tension headaches
- Sinus headaches
- Rebound headaches
- Headaches caused by injury
Effects will be marginal at best on the above types of headaches. A doctor or physician can recommend a more effective treatment.
