Relpax is one of the best-known drugs for the relief of migraine pain, headache, and symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to certain things including light and sound. It is a very effective drug for severe migraine problem as well. It belongs to a group of medication called triptans.

Migraines are believed to take place because of swelling of certain blood vessels in the brain. It helps the blood vessels in the brain to come back to normal size. Relpax can also block the pain stimulus in your brain. However, this medicine does not prevent future migraines or lessen the frequency of its occurrence.

In most cases, Relpax begins to have its effect within 30 minutes, and you can get back to your normal physical state in a couple of hours. According to clinical reports, this drug is more effective than Imitrex as it relieves pain faster, only after a single dose.

You must remember that Relpax is meant it treat migraine issues, and is not recommended to be used for other kinds of pain. Most people feel well after taking this drug and become free of the awful pain caused by migraine, while others find that their pain becomes considerably less and they can return to their normal lives, despite the fact that their migraine does not completely vanish.

You must take Relpax during an actual migraine attack. It should not be taken to prevent stress headaches, cluster headaches, or atypical types of migraine including hemiplegic or basilar migraine.

When the symptoms of migraine occur, take a single dose of Relpax. If the headache vanishes but then returns after some time, you may take another dose – but there should be a gap of a couple of hours between the first and second dose.

The best and most effective way of treating migraine with Relpax is to consume the drug as soon as you feel the first signs of pain. Take the medicine orally with a glass of water; do not break or chew. There is no need to take it with a full or empty stomach.

Relpax is a well-tolerated drug. It has certain minor side effects but generally very few people encounter them. These may include dizziness, nausea, weakness, tiredness, pain or pressure feeling in the chest or throat. These side effects are mild and rare so they should not stop you from treating your migraine with Relpax.
