Almotriptan Tablets are a fast-acting prescription treatment used to alleviate acute migraine attacks in adults. They are suitable for individuals who experience migraines with or without aura. Almotriptan helps reduce the severity and duration of migraine symptoms, offering rapid relief when taken early in the migraine phase.
How It Works
Each tablet contains almotriptan malate, equivalent to 12.5mg of almotriptan. As a selective serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptor agonist, it works by constricting the widened blood vessels in the brain, a key cause of migraine pain. Almotriptan also helps block the release of inflammatory substances involved in migraine attacks, thereby relieving the headache and associated symptoms.
Why Choose Almotriptan
This medication provides effective relief with a well-tolerated side effect profile. It is often chosen for patients who have not responded well to other triptans. The once-daily tablet format offers a practical and reliable option for managing migraine episodes. Its long half-life contributes to reduced recurrence, making it ideal for longer-lasting or slower-building migraines.
Important Note
This medication is not a preventative treatment and should not be taken to stop migraines before they start. It is not suitable for patients with cardiovascular disease, severe liver impairment, or specific types of migraine such as hemiplegic or basilar migraine. Always use as directed by your doctor and avoid combining with other triptan or ergot-based medications.

Please refer to the medication’s patient information leaflet before starting any new medication.
