Zomig Nasal Spray is an antimigraine solution consisting of a drug called zolmitriptan. We carry the brand choice of this medication in 5mg. 

Zomig Nasal Spray is prescribed to treat migraines, a certain type of headache. This is not a medication for common tension headaches. Migraines are severe throbbing or pulsing pains or sensations, usually on one side of the head. Most times, migraines are associated with nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Typically, migraines last anywhere from a few hours to a few days and sometimes so severe that it may interfere with daily activities.

Zomig Nasal Spray (zolmitriptan) is effective at treating migraines because of its ability to narrow the blood vessels found around the brain while also reducing the substances in the body that cause you to feel pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.

Use this medication only the way it has been prescribed to you. Follow your doctor’s instructions very carefully; they can usually be found on the prescription label if you forget.

Blow your nose before starting. Spray a single dose in 1 nostril as soon as migraine symptoms begin. If your migraine comes back, your doctor should have given you instructions on when you can take another dose; typically, you must wait 2 hours before using another dose.
