About Rizora ODS 5 Disintegrating Strip

RIZATRIPTAN belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin 5-HT receptor agonist used to treat migraine with or without an aura. Migraine is a neurological condition that is characterised by intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache, which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift. 
 
RIZATRIPTAN contains ‘Rizatriptan’ that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain, thereby provides relief from migraine headache. RIZATRIPTAN helps in decreasing the substances in the body, which can trigger headache pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and other migraine symptoms. RIZATRIPTAN does not prevent or reduce the number of attacks; it only helps in treating a headache that has already begun.
