It can be hard to fully enjoy your day when you have a migraine. You should know, RELPAX® (eletriptan HBr) has been proven to relieve the pain and symptoms associated with migraines.

It works fast and lasts

For some people, RELPAX 40 mg starts to work in as little as 30 minutes, with most people feeling migraine pain relief within 2 hours.* And most of those people are still feeling relief 24 hours later. That's a full day of pain relief!

RELPAX 40 mg offers superior pain relief compared with IMITREX® 100 mg

In 2 clinical studies, more people who took RELPAX 40 mg felt migraine pain relief at 2 hours. Their relief lasted up to 24 hours more often than those who took IMITREX (sumatriptan) 100 mg. Also, more people found relief at 2 hours with just one dose of RELPAX 40 mg than with IMITREX 100 mg. So ask your doctor if RELPAX is right for you.

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

IMITREX (sumatriptan succinate) is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline.

Indication

RELPAX is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.

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).

All brands are trademarks of their owners.

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.
