Zomig Rapimelt and Zolmitriptan at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Zomig Rapimelt (zolmitriptan) is a brand-name medication for migraine. While AstraZeneca is a manufacturer of Zomig in some countries (e.g., the UK), in Canada, the brand-name product Zomig Rapimelt is marketed by Xediton Pharmaceuticals Inc. The brand may also be known as Zomig-ZMT.

Generic zolmitriptan is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Dosage

The brand Zomig Rapimelt ZMT is available in the strength of 2.5 mg and 5 mg tablets. The generic Zolmitriptan ODT comes in the strength of 2.5 mg tablets.

Important Information about Generic Zomig Rapimelt:

Generic zolmitriptan contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Zomig Rapimelt and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards as the brand-name product. This means it's designed to work in the same way as zolmitriptan. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name zolmitriptan, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. If you have any questions about using generic zolmitriptan, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, please visit Access to Generic Drugs in Canada | Canada.ca.

Dosage

Zomig Rapimelt (zolmitriptan) is an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) available in the following strengths:
• Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT): 2.5 mg and 5 mg tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical history.

Usage

Zomig Rapimelt (zolmitriptan) is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches, with or without aura, in adults aged 18 years and older. It is not used to prevent migraine attacks from occurring and is not recommended for other types of headaches.

Mechanism of Action
Zolmitriptan is a selective serotonin receptor agonist, specifically a 5-HT1B/1D agonist, belonging to the class of medications known as "triptans." The pain of a migraine is thought to be caused by the widening of blood vessels in the head and the release of certain chemicals from nerve endings. Zolmitriptan works by binding to serotonin receptors on these blood vessels and nerve endings, leading to two main effects:
• Inhibition of Neuropeptide Release: It inhibits the release of certain inflammatory substances and pain signals from the trigeminal nerves, further contributing to pain relief.
• Vasoconstriction: It causes the dilated cranial blood vessels to constrict, or narrow, which helps to reduce the throbbing pain.
This dual action provides symptomatic relief for migraine headaches.

Take Zomig Rapimelt exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph in Canada. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Zomig Rapimelt, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects and Precautions

The information below is a partial list of side effects; individual reactions can vary. Before starting Zomig Rapimelt, it is crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common Side Effects - The following are some common side effects of Zomig Rapimelt; other side effects may also occur. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Dizziness, drowsiness, or fainting
• Dry mouth
• Feeling of warmth, heaviness, or pressure in the chest, throat, or jaw
• Headache (may be worse)

Serious Side Effects - These are rare but potentially severe side effects. Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following:
• Allergic reactions: Severe rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing.
• Cardiovascular events: Sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, or a feeling of heaviness or tightness in the chest, throat, or jaw.

This can indicate a heart attack or other serious heart condition.
• Gastrointestinal ischemia: Sudden or severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, or signs of poor blood flow to the intestines.
• Serotonin syndrome: A potentially life-threatening condition that can occur with the use of triptans, especially when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Symptoms include agitation, hallucinations, a rapid heartbeat, and fever.
• Stroke: Sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, or vision problems.

Contraindications

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Zomig Rapimelt, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Zomig Rapimelt should not be used if:
• You are allergic to zolmitriptan or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• You are taking or have recently taken (within 24 hours) another triptan or an ergotamine-containing medication.
• You have a specific type of migraine (hemiplegic or basilar migraine).
• You have a history of ischemic heart disease, coronary artery spasm (Prinzmetal’s angina), or have had a heart attack.
• You have a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
• You have peripheral vascular disease or ischemic bowel disease
• You have uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Zomig Rapimelt. This is crucial because certain conditions affect whether Zomig Rapimelt is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• A history of seizures
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Risk factors for heart disease (e.g., high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, family history)

Drug Interactions

Before taking Zomig Rapimelt, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, visit the Canada Drug and Health Product Portal.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Zomig Rapimelt may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Cimetidine: This medication can increase the concentration of zolmitriptan in the body so that a dose adjustment may be necessary.
• MAOIs: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) can increase the levels of zolmitriptan in the body, thereby increasing the risk of side effects. The use of zolmitriptan is contraindicated within 2 weeks of stopping an MAOI.
• Other triptans or ergotamines: Do not take Zomig Rapimelt within 24 hours of taking other triptans (e.g., sumatriptan) or ergotamine-containing medications (e.g., dihydroergotamine), as this can increase the risk of serious side effects.
• SSRIs and SNRIs: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), when used with Zomig Rapimelt, can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Zomig Rapimelt should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether zolmitriptan is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when administering Zomig Rapimelt to a nursing woman. Avoiding breastfeeding for 24 hours after a dose is often recommended.

Use in the Elderly
The safety and efficacy of Zomig Rapimelt in individuals aged 65 years and older have not been systematically evaluated. Its use in this age group is generally not recommended due to a higher risk of underlying cardiovascular disease.

Use in Children
Zomig Rapimelt is not approved for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
