It can be hard to fully enjoy your day when you have a migraine. But RELPAX (eletriptan HBr) can relieve the pain and symptoms of even the worst migraine.

It works fast and lasts

With RELPAX, more people were free of pain within 2 hours. And relief lasted up to 24 hours compared to those taking IMITREX (sumatriptan) 100 mg.* RELPAX also works fast. For some people, RELPAX starts to work in 30 minutes. And, most people feel migraine pain relief within 2 hours.**

RELPAX offers superior pain relief compared to IMITREX®

In two clinical studies, more people got relief with just one dose of RELPAX 40 mg than with IMITREX (sumatriptan) 100 mg. So ask your doctor if RELPAX is right for you.

RELPAX is used for migraines in adults only. It's not to be used for other types of headaches.

*

In a clinical study of RELPAX 40 mg vs IMITREX 100 mg.

**

In this study, pain relief was measured in terms of headache response, defined as a reduction from a severe or moderate headache to a mild headache or no pain after medication was taken.

Important Safety Information

If you have certain types of heart disease, a history of stroke, transient ischemic attack, peripheral vascular disease (eg narrowing of blood vessels to the legs, arms, stomach, intestines, or kidneys), uncontrolled blood pressure, or severe liver problems, you should not take RELPAX. Very rarely, certain people, even some without heart disease, have had serious heart-related problems.

Do not take RELPAX if you have migraines that cause temporary paralysis on one side of your body or basilar migraine (rare form of migraine with symptoms including but not limited to: loss of balance, slurred speech, hearing change).

Do not take RELPAX if you are allergic to eletriptan or any of the other ingredients in RELPAX, or if you have taken any other drugs in its class (triptans) or ergotamine medicines within 24 hours.

When you have a migraine headache, take your medicine as directed by your doctor. RELPAX should be taken as a single 40-mg tablet. You may take a second tablet, at least 2 hours after the first dose, if your migraine symptoms come back. Do not exceed 2 doses in a 24-hour period. If the first tablet did not help your headache at all, do not take a second tablet without talking with your doctor.

RELPAX should not be used within at least 72 hours of treatment with the following medicines: Nizoral® (ketoconazole), Sporanox® (itraconazole), Serzone® (nefazodone), TAO® (troleandomycin), Biaxin® (clarithromycin), Norvir® (ritonavir), and Viracept® (nelfinavir).

RELPAX, as with other triptans can cause serotonin syndrome, particularly when used with certain medications commonly used to treat depression such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).

RELPAX should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Most common side effects are dizziness, nausea, weakness, feeling sleepy and pain or pressure sensation in the chest or throat. Tell your doctor about any side effects you have.
