Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Maxalt-MLT Work?

Rizatriptan works by selectively agonizing serotonin (5-HT) receptors, particularly the 5-HT_1B and 5-HT_1D subtypes. This action leads to vasoconstriction of dilated intracranial blood vessels and inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides, effectively alleviating headache and associated migraine symptoms.



Common Dosages

  • Orally Disintegrating Tablets: 5 mg and 10 mg.

Typical Dosing

  • The usual recommended dose is 5 mg to 10 mg taken as soon as a migraine attack begins. If the migraine returns, a second dose may be taken after at least 2 hours. Do not exceed 30 mg in a 24-hour period.
