General Information On Relpax
Relpax is an oral drug used for treating migraine. This medicine provides relief from migraine headaches and other symptoms of migraine attacks such as increased sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine attacks occur when certain blood vessels in the brain become dilated. Eletriptan (generic name of this drug) works by narrowing these dilated brain blood vessels. Relpax belongs to a category of drugs called Triptans.
Relpax is not a preventive medicine and cannot prevent or reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. It only provides relief from migraine symptoms once the migraine attack occurs.
This drug is only meant for the treatment of migraine headaches and should never be used to treat tension headaches or other types of headaches.
Side Effects for Relpax
Relpax may cause various side effects. While some side effects are serious in nature and must be addressed immediately, others are mild and dissipate on their own once the patient’s body gets used to the drug.
Stop taking Relpax and contact your doctor or pharmacist if you notice any of the following serious side effects: severe nausea, chest pain, sudden numbness, severe headache (not migraine), problems with speech, balance, or vision, bloody diarrhea, a cold or numb feeling in the hands or feet, blue nails, toes, or fingers, and severe abdominal pain.
