What is zolmitriptan used for?

How does zolmitriptan work?
zolmitriptan is a triptan. It works by attaching to certain serotonin receptors (proteins) in your brain and nervous system. These proteins react to serotonin, which is a natural chemical in your body that might play a role in migraines. When zolmitriptan attaches to these receptors, it’s thought to help lower blood vessel swelling in the brain. It’s also thought to help stop the release of pain signals through your nerves. This helps relieve migraine pain.
