What is Relpax?

Relpax is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat the symptoms of migraines. Relpax belongs to a class of drugs known as serotonin receptor agonists or triptans. It is believed to work on the serotonin receptors in the blood vessels of the brain. It may help improve migraine symptoms by narrowing the swollen blood vessels that cause migraines. 

This medication is used specifically for migraine headaches, and it should only be used to treat a migraine headache that has already started. It is not intended to prevent migraine headaches.

Relpax comes in the form of an oral tablet that is usually taken as a single dose when migraine symptoms start. A dose can be repeated two hours after the first dose if needed. Seek medical advice from your healthcare provider about the right dosage for you. 

You should not use this medication if you have a history of heart disease, ischemic bowel disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Tell your doctor about your medical history and other medications that you're currently using before taking Relpax.

What are the side effects of Relpax?

Nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue are common side effects of Relpax. Other side effects may include dry mouth, indigestion, stomach discomfort, and chest tightness. If you experience any of these side effects and they persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider. 

Relpax may increase serotonin levels, which can lead to a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. The risk of this happening increases if you are taking other drugs that increase your serotonin levels, so be sure to inform your doctor of all the medications you are currently using. You should always speak to your doctor before starting any new medications in order to learn about all the possible side effects and benefits.

Other serious side effects may include heart attacks or other heart problems, severe stomach problems, blood circulation problems, or worsened headaches (if Relpax is taken too often). Talk to your healthcare provider about other possible side effects, warnings, and precautions before taking Relpax. 

Does Relpax make you drowsy?

Drowsiness is a common side effect of Relpax. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery for several hours after taking Relpax. Drowsiness may be more severe when you first start taking Relpax and subside as your body gets used to the medication. If you experience severe drowsiness with Relpax, discuss your options with your healthcare provider.
