Information about Axert (Almotriptan)

Axert is used to treat acute migraine attacks in adults. It is designed to relieve symptoms such as headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound that occur during a migraine.

Axert is Almotriptan, which is a selective agonist for serotonin receptors (5-HT_1B and 5-HT_1D) in the brain. This action helps to counteract the processes involved in migraine attacks.

Product Highlights

  • Axert is a type of medication known as a triptan.
  • It is specifically formulated to target and alleviate migraine headaches.
  • It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing inflammation, which helps to relieve migraine symptoms.

Key Ingredients

  • Almotriptan Malate

Key Benefits

  • Effective in relieving symptoms of acute migraines, including headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
  • Provides relatively quick relief, usually within 1 to 2 hours.
  • Can reduce the need for over-the-counter pain medications that may have less specific effects.

Direction For Use

  • Axert is typically taken orally as a tablet.
  • The recommended dose is usually one 12.5 mg tablet taken at the onset of a migraine.
  • If symptoms persist or return, a second dose may be taken after at least 2 hours.
  • The maximum recommended dose is 25 mg in a 24-hour period.
  • Follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dose.

Safety Concern

  • Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea, and fatigue.
  • Serious side effects may include chest pain, severe abdominal pain, or signs of an allergic reaction.
  • Almotriptan can cause blood vessel constriction, so it should be used cautiously in individuals with cardiovascular conditions.
  • It may interact with other medications, particularly those affecting serotonin levels (e.g., other triptans, antidepressants).

Avoid Axert (Almotriptan) If:

  • You have a history of heart disease, stroke, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
  • You are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, unless advised by a healthcare provider.
  • You have certain conditions that affect blood circulation or severe liver impairment.
  • You are taking other medications that can interact adversely with Almotriptan, such as other triptans or certain antidepressants.
