| How is Zomig taken?
|
|
Follow the directions for taking Zomig provided by your doctor. Take Zomig as soon as your first symptoms appear. If the headache comes back after your first dose, you may take a second one 2 hours later. However, if the first dose has no effect at all, do not take a second one unless your doctor advises it, and never take more than 10 milligrams in a day. If taking an orally disintegrating Zomig ZMT tablet, do not remove it from the blister pack until just before use, then immediately place it on your tongue, where it will dissolve in the saliva. Do not break the tablet. Throw away any unused tablets already removed from the blister packaging. Zomig is not for regular use. Take it only when you are having a migraine attack. |
