Relpax contains the active ingredient eletriptan. It is a prescription medication used to treat migraine attacks in adults.
Relpax is used to treat a migraine after the symptoms begin. It may be used for migraines with or without aura.
An aura is a group of temporary symptoms that can occur before or during a migraine. These may include flashing lights, blind spots, tingling, numbness, or difficulty speaking.
Relpax may help relieve:
Relpax is used for immediate migraine treatment. It does not prevent future migraines or reduce how often they occur.
Relpax belongs to a group of medications called triptans. It activates certain serotonin receptors in the brain.
This action helps reduce the release of substances involved in migraine pain and decreases the activity of pain pathways linked to a migraine attack. It also causes certain blood vessels around the brain to narrow.
Take Relpax as soon as possible after your migraine headache begins, following your healthcare provider’s instructions. It should not be used for ordinary tension headaches or for headaches that have not been diagnosed as migraines.
Relpax is available as a tablet that you take by mouth to treat a migraine attack after it begins. It is not taken every day to prevent migraines.
Take Relpax as soon as possible after your migraine headache begins. It can be used for a migraine with or without aura.
You do not need to take Relpax during the aura phase unless your healthcare provider has specifically instructed you to do so. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Relpax may be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet with water.
The usual starting dose for adults is either 20 mg or 40 mg. Your healthcare provider will select the dose based on your medical history, migraine severity, response to treatment, and possible side effects.
The maximum amount that should be taken as one dose is 40 mg. A higher single dose has not been shown to provide enough additional benefit to outweigh the increased risk of side effects.
If your migraine improves after the first dose but later returns, you may take a second dose at least 2 hours after the first one.
A second dose may also be taken if your migraine has not completely resolved after 2 hours, provided your healthcare provider has told you that it is appropriate.
Do not take more than 80 mg within any 24-hour period. This means you should not take more than two 40 mg tablets in one day.
If the first dose provides no relief, contact your healthcare provider before taking Relpax for another migraine attack. Your healthcare provider may need to confirm that your headaches are migraines or recommend another treatment.
Do not repeatedly take extra doses when the first dose has not worked unless your healthcare provider has given you clear instructions.
Relpax is designed to treat an active migraine attack. Some people may notice an improvement within a few hours, but the response varies.
Relief may include reduced headache pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound. Relpax does not work for every migraine attack, and symptoms may sometimes return after initially improving.
Relpax should only be taken when needed for a migraine attack. It should not be taken every day to prevent migraines.
The safety of treating an average of more than three migraine attacks within a 30-day period has not been established. Tell your healthcare provider if you need Relpax frequently or if your migraines are becoming more common.
Using Relpax or other acute headache medications too frequently may lead to medication-overuse headaches. This can cause headaches to occur more often, last longer, or become more difficult to treat.
Tell your healthcare provider if you use migraine medication on 10 or more days each month. They may need to review your treatment and consider a preventive migraine medication.
Do not combine Relpax with another triptan or an ergot-containing migraine medication unless your healthcare provider has confirmed that the timing is safe.
A migraine diary may help you record:
This information can help your healthcare provider determine whether Relpax is working and whether your treatment plan should be changed.
Seek immediate medical help if your headache is sudden and extremely severe, feels different from your usual migraines, or occurs with fainting, confusion, fever, neck stiffness, seizures, difficulty speaking, sudden vision loss, or weakness on one side of your body.
You should also seek urgent care if you experience chest pain, severe chest pressure, shortness of breath, an irregular heartbeat, or severe abdominal pain after taking Relpax.
Take Relpax exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose, take doses less than 2 hours apart, or exceed 80 mg within 24 hours.
Relpax (Eletriptan) is available in the following forms and strength:
Who should not take Relpax?
Relpax may not be safe for people with certain heart, blood vessel, or neurological conditions. Do not take it if you have:
Kidney disease is not automatically a reason to avoid Relpax. However, blood pressure increases have been observed in people with kidney impairment, so your healthcare provider may need to monitor you more closely.
Tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about every prescription medication, over-the-counter product, vitamin, and supplement you use.
Another triptan, such as sumatriptan, rizatriptan, or zolmitriptan
An ergot-containing migraine medication, such as ergotamine or dihydroergotamine
Using these medicines too close together may cause excessive narrowing of the blood vessels.
Relpax must also not be used within at least 72 hours of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. These medications can greatly increase the amount of eletriptan in your bloodstream. Examples include ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, nelfinavir, and nefazodone.
Relpax is not automatically prohibited with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. However, combining these medications can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop agitation, confusion, hallucinations, fever, heavy sweating, a fast heartbeat, unstable blood pressure, shaking, stiff muscles, poor coordination, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Available information is not sufficient to clearly determine the pregnancy risks of eletriptan, so your healthcare provider will weigh the expected benefits against the possible risks.
Eletriptan passes into breast milk. Exposure to a nursing baby may be reduced by avoiding breastfeeding for 24 hours after taking Relpax. Discuss the safest feeding plan with your healthcare provider.
Relpax may cause dizziness, weakness, or drowsiness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.
Take Relpax only after a migraine attack begins. It is used to treat migraines with or without aura, but it does not prevent future attacks.
Use it only for headaches that your healthcare provider has diagnosed as migraines. Seek medical attention if a headache is sudden, extremely severe, or different from your usual migraines.
Do not exceed the prescribed dose. The maximum recommended amount is 80 mg within 24 hours, with at least 2 hours between doses. Taking more than directed may increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart problems, blood vessel spasms, and other serious side effects.
The official Relpax prescribing information does not specifically require patients to avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice. However, eletriptan is processed by the CYP3A4 enzyme, and strong medications that block this enzyme can cause dangerous increases in eletriptan levels.
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist whether grapefruit is appropriate for you, particularly if you take other medications that interact with grapefruit.
The usual adult dose is 20 mg or 40 mg taken when a migraine begins. If your migraine improves but later returns, or if it does not completely go away, you may take a second dose at least 2 hours after the first dose. Do not take more than 80 mg within 24 hours. Follow the exact dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Eletriptan may begin relieving migraine symptoms within about 30 minutes to 2 hours. The response time varies from person to person and may also differ between migraine attacks. Eletriptan treats a migraine that has already started. It does not prevent future migraines and should not be used for hemiplegic migraine or migraine with brainstem aura.
Relpax is not intended for daily use. It should only be taken when needed to treat a migraine attack. Using eletriptan or other headache medicines too frequently can cause medication-overuse headaches, making headaches more frequent or difficult to treat. Tell your healthcare provider if you need migraine medication on 10 or more days per month or if your migraines are becoming more frequent.
Eletriptan may cause drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, or tiredness in some people. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require full alertness until you know how the medication affects you. Speak with your healthcare provider if these effects are severe, persistent, or interfere with your daily activities.
