ZOMIG Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is ZOMIG?

What dosages is ZOMIG available in?
ZOMIG is available as a 2.5 mg and 5 mg orally disintegrating tablet, oral tablet, and nasal spray.
What is ZOMIG used for?
ZOMIG is a triptan and is used to treat migraines.
How does ZOMIG work?
ZOMIG 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 ZOMIG 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.
How do I take ZOMIG?
ZOMIG is typically taken as a single dose at the first sign of a migraine. If the headache doesn’t go away or it comes back, you can consider taking another dose 2 hours after your previous dose. The maximum single dose is 5 mg. Don’t take more than 10 mg in a 24-hour period.
