Maxalt (active ingredient: rizatriptan) is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks in adults. It may be used for migraines that occur with or without aura.
An aura may include symptoms such as flashing lights, blind spots, tingling, or other sensory changes that happen before or during a migraine.
Maxalt is taken when a migraine attack begins. It helps relieve migraine symptoms such as:
Maxalt is not used to prevent migraines from happening. It is used only to treat a migraine attack that has already started.
Maxalt belongs to a class of medications called triptans. Triptans work by acting on serotonin receptors in the brain. This helps narrow swollen blood vessels and reduce the release of inflammatory substances that may contribute to migraine pain.
By targeting these migraine-related changes, Maxalt can help reduce headache pain and other migraine symptoms.
Maxalt is taken by mouth when a migraine attack begins. It may be taken with or without food, exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.
Before taking Maxalt, tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use. Some medications, such as propranolol, can affect the recommended dose of Maxalt.
The correct dose of Maxalt depends on your age, body weight, medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking.
For adults, the usual dose is 5 mg or 10 mg by mouth as a single dose when a migraine starts. If the migraine returns, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first dose, if directed by your healthcare provider. Do not take more than 20 mg in 24 hours.
For children and adolescents ages 6 to 17 years, the dose is based on body weight:
Children who weigh less than 88 pounds (40 kg) usually take 5 mg by mouth as a single dose.
Children who weigh 88 pounds (40 kg) or more usually take 10 mg by mouth as a single dose.
The safety and effectiveness of taking more than one dose of Maxalt within 24 hours have not been established in children and adolescents ages 6 to 17 years.
Maxalt is used to treat a migraine attack that has already started. It is not used to prevent migraines. Do not take more than prescribed, and contact your healthcare provider if your migraines become more frequent, more severe, or do not improve with treatment.
Maxalt (Rizatriptan) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Before taking Maxalt, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history, allergies, and all medications or supplements you are taking. This helps your provider determine whether Maxalt is safe for you.
Before using Maxalt, tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are allergic to rizatriptan or if you have any other allergies. Maxalt may contain inactive ingredients that can cause allergic reactions or other problems in some people.
Seek medical help right away if you develop symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Pregnancy
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Maxalt. Rizatriptan should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed. Your provider can help weigh the potential benefits and risks.
Do not take Maxalt within 24 hours before or after using certain other migraine medications, including other triptans or ergot-type medicines. Taking these medications too close together can increase the risk of serious side effects.
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist to confirm which migraine medications should not be used with Maxalt.
Maxalt may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or reduced alertness. Until you know how the medication affects you, avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing activities that require focus and coordination.
Alcohol and cannabis may make dizziness or drowsiness worse. Limit alcoholic beverages, and tell your healthcare provider if you use cannabis or cannabis-containing products.
Maxalt may increase the risk of serious heart-related side effects in some people. Before using Maxalt, tell your healthcare provider if you have risk factors for heart disease, including:
Your healthcare provider may evaluate your heart health before prescribing Maxalt, especially if you have several risk factors. Seek emergency medical attention if you develop chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, severe dizziness, or pain spreading to the jaw, neck, or arm.
Maxalt should only be used to treat migraine attacks that have been diagnosed by a healthcare provider. It is not intended for other types of headaches, such as tension headaches, cluster headaches, or headaches caused by other medical conditions.
No. Maxalt may not be safe for everyone. Before using it, tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, circulation problems, a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), liver or kidney problems, or risk factors for heart disease. Your healthcare provider can determine whether Maxalt is appropriate for you.
Maxalt may start relieving migraine symptoms within about 30 minutes for some people. Significant relief is often seen within 2 hours. If your migraine does not improve or becomes worse, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
For adults, if the migraine returns, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first dose, if directed by your healthcare provider. Do not take more than 20 mg in 24 hours. If you take propranolol or have certain medical conditions, your maximum daily dose may be lower, so follow your provider’s instructions. For children and adolescents ages 6 to 17, the safety and effectiveness of taking more than one dose within 24 hours have not been established.
Maxalt can interact with other medications, including certain antidepressants, other migraine medications, ergot-type medicines, and propranolol. Tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements you are taking before using Maxalt.
Maxalt is not known to be addictive. However, using migraine medications too often can lead to medication-overuse headaches. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on how often to use Maxalt.
Store Maxalt at room temperature, away from excess heat and moisture. Keep it in its original packaging and out of reach of children and pets.

Here’s what you need to know:
Dosage and Quantity: Maxalt is commonly prescribed in dosages of 5 mg or 10 mg, taken as needed for migraine relief. Let’s assume you’re prescribed the 10 mg tablets and you take one tablet per migraine episode.
For a 90-day supply, you would order based on your estimated usage during that period. Let’s say you experience an average of 8 migraine episodes per month, which would be approximately 24 migraines over a 90-day period. So, for a 90-day supply, you would order 24 tablets (1 tablet per migraine x 24 migraines).
