Zolmipine Nasal Spray 2.5mg contains zolmitriptan 2.5mg, a medicine from the triptan class used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks, with or without aura.

Zolmitriptan works primarily on serotonin (5-HT1) receptors in the brain. It helps constrict certain blood vessels and reduces the release of substances involved in migraine pain and inflammation. The nasal spray provides an alternative route of administration that can be useful when nausea or vomiting makes oral medicines difficult to take.

• Acute treatment of migraine attacks
• Migraine with aura
• Migraine without aura
• Helps relieve migraine-associated headache and symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light or sound

Zolmipine is not intended to prevent migraine attacks or for routine daily use.
