How can rizatriptan make your headache Worse:

Even after years of research. Hosting Posting Migraine remains 

an incurable disorder - no treatment can rid patients of migraines.

Migraine sufferers can keep their condition under control by avoiding migraine triggers. Identifying these triggers and working on small lifestyle changes. such as reducing stress and good sleep habits, can help reduce symptoms.

Prompt action and early treatment help patients return to

 their normal routine and reduce the need for pain medication.

But, some medications help prevent or stop migraines, preventing symptoms from getting worse. Rizatriptan is one such drug.

What is Rizatriptan?

Rizatriptan is a drug used to treat migraines. It belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans and helps relieve headaches. pain and other migraine symptoms caused by nausea. vomiting and sensitivity to light/sound.

It can also relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain.

Understanding migraine and its effects on the brain

Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized 

Approximately 15% of the world's population to affect by migraine at some point in their lives. In basilar migraine, the patient experiences neurological symptoms related to the brainstem 

or neurological symptoms on both sides of the body. Common effects of this migraine include feeling like the world is spinning. and lightheadedness. and confusion. Nausea occurs in almost 90% of people and vomiting occurs in about one-third.

Other symptoms may include blurred vision and nasal congestion. diarrhea, frequent urination, and paleness. or sweat Also on, swelling or tenderness of the scalp and neck stiffness may occur. The tingling sensation often starts on one side of the hand. and arm and spreads to the nose and mouth area on the same side. Numbness usually occurs after the tingling wears off with a loss of sense of position.

Since Rizatriptan is an oral thin film (also called a soluble film).

 required prescribed doses even when suffering from such severe symptoms. It is also very easy to carry and requires no water 

unlike a solid oral dose – the patient can put this film in their mouth anywhere. whenever they are experiencing symptoms and

 it dissolves immediately to start the action.

What are oral thin films?

With recent advances in research and technology. more viable oral dosage forms have to introduce. particularly to aid medication adherence in pediatric patients. geriatric patients, bedridden patients, nauseated patients, or noncompliant patients. A variety of mucosal dosage forms have to develop. Oral thin film to divide into mouth-dissolving/fast-disintegrating film, and buccal film. and sublingual film.

 the fast-dissolving film, and fast-dissolving film.

It consists of a fast-dissolving drug-infused polymer film that hydrates.  

Fast Disintegrating Film dissolves or disintegrates in the oral cavity. resulting in a solution or suspension without the need for water – within seconds.

Unlike other existing fast-dissolving dosage forms (which consist of lyophilized products). fast films can produce using a competitive manufacturing process. 

Why Oral Thin Films?

The oral thin film disintegrates in the mouth, providing precise dosing in a safe. the effective format that is convenient and portable. without the need for water or dosing measurement also the oral thin film allows for intraoral absorption. thereby bypassing first-pass effects in some cases.

Rizatriptan vs Sumatriptan

Rizatriptan and sumatriptan are selective 5-HT(1B/1D) 

receptor agonists for the acute treatment of migraine. For oral dosage forms

These pharmacological advantages translate into a faster onset of action. and better response to oral rizatriptan compared to oral sumatriptan. The two drugs have to compare in randomized, double-blind. placebo-controlled clinical trials in patients with moderate to severe migraine attacks.

Rizatriptan 10 mg was generally superior to sumatriptan in time

 to pain relief within 2 hours whereas pain relief to define as

 a reduction in pain to mild or no pain (odds ratio for rizatriptan versus sumatriptan 100 mg = 1.21. odds ratios for rizatriptan 

The International Headache Society recommended the

 percentage of patients free of pain at 2 hours (40% for Rizatriptan 10 mg. 33% for Sumatriptan 100 mg and 35% for Sumatriptan 50 mg) as an endpoint. More benefits of rizatriptan to observed

 based on rigorous outcome measures of the percentage

 of patients completely free of all symptoms at 2 hours. patient satisfaction with the medication at 2 hours, and 24-hour sustained pain-free response.
