Active Ingredient: Almotriptan
Almotriptan is indicated for the acute treatment of the headache phase of migraine attacks with or without aura.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Oral
12.5 - 25 mg
From 12.5 To 25 mg once every day
The recommended dose is one tablet containing 12.5 mg of almotriptan. A second dose may be taken if the symptoms reappear within 24 hours. This second dose may be taken provided that there is a minimum interval of two hours between the two doses.
The efficacy of a second dose for the treatment of the same attack when an initial dose is ineffective has not been examined in controlled trials. Therefore if a patient does not respond to the first dose, a second dose should not be taken for the same attack.
The maximum recommended dose is two doses in 24 hours.
The tablets can be taken with or without food.
