General Information On Axert

Axert is a prescription medicine used to treat migraine headaches. The drug is only used to treat existing migraine pain and cannot prevent migraines that may occur in the future. It belongs to a group of migraine drugs known as 5-HT agonists or Triptans. Axert is available in a tablet form and works by narrowing the blood vessels, which in turn provides relief from migraine symptoms.

Side Effects for Axert

Axert is associated with several side effects. In most cases, patients using Axert suffer from minor side effects, and severe negative symptoms have only occurred in rare cases. The most common side effects of Axert are: mild headache, excessive warmth or redness under the skin, drowsiness or dizziness, dry mouth, vomiting, nausea, and joint pains.

In rare cases, the following serious side effects may occur: sudden numbness on one side of the body, severe headache, bloody stools, intense stomach pain, hallucinations, dizziness to the point of feeling like you are going to faint, profuse sweating, and swelling of the tongue, throat, or lips. If you suffer from these side effects, you must immediately seek medical help.

Precautions

If your doctor has prescribed Axert for your migraine problems, you must be aware of its risks. Inform your doctor about your medical condition and intimate him/her well in advance if you have kidney problems, certain blood vessel conditions, or severe depression. You must also consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, smoke, have gone through menopause, and have genetic heart disease problems. Axert is not meant for daily consumption and is only to be taken if you are having a migraine attack. You must swallow the tablet whole with a glass or water or any other fluid. These precautionary measures are essential to prevent any unwanted complications.

Axert Dosage

Axert dosage differs from patient to patient depending on several factors such as one’s response to the drug, other medical conditions of the patient, and the types of other medicines used by him/her. Clinical studies suggest that a higher dose of Axert can be more effective, but can also bring with it an increased risk of dangerous side effects. Doctors usually recommend 6.25 mg or 12.5 mg for patients with migraine problems. Patients using Axert should not take more than two doses in 24 hours. If you buy Axert for your migraine problem, you must strictly stick to the dosage and instructions as recommended by your doctor.

Interactions

Patients using Axert in combination with other prescription or over the counter drugs may suffer from drug interactions. These drug interactions can lead to adverse consequences. It is therefore recommended that you inform your doctor about all the other drugs you are using, including prescription, over the counter, and herbal medications. Axert may potentially interact with several other medicines such as MAOIs, ergot medications, and certain antidepressants including Bupropion, Nefazodone, Mirtazapine, and Budeprion. It also interacts with certain AIDS/HIV medicines, antifungal drugs, and certain antibiotics.
