The relief of RELPAX
RELPAX relieves migraine pain and symptoms, such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. RELPAX even works on the worst migraines.How RELPAX works
RELPAX is believed to block the release of substances from nerve endings in the brain:
- These substances cause the swelling of blood vessels around the brain. This swelling is thought to cause migraine pain
- These substances are also thought to cause other symptoms of migraines, such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound
Clinically proven, long-lasting migraine relief:
- Two clinical studies have proven that with RELPAX 40 mg, more people got relief of migraine pain with just one dose than those taking Imitrex®* 100 mg
- And, with RELPAX, more people were pain-free within 2 hours and for up to 24 hours, than those taking Imitrex®†
- Many RELPAX patients feel rapid pain relief - some within 30 minutes
It is no surprise that 98% of surveyed patients, who were treated with RELPAX, would
ask their doctor for RELPAX again.‡ Ask your doctor today if RELPAX
is right for you.

| ‡ | In a national survey performed in 2006-2008, 4546 patients, as of 9/30/08, treated with RELPAX for 1 migraine attack recorded their experience. These results are consistent with the overall survey results from a cumulative database of over 4000 patients with over 6000 attacks (patients reported up to 3 attacks)compiled from 2004-2008. |
Important safety information
RELPAX is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Only your doctor can decide if RELPAX is right for you.
RELPAX should be taken as a single 40-mg tablet. If needed, and as directed by your healthcare professional, an additional 40-mg tablet can be taken at least 2 hours later. No more than two 40-mg tablets should be taken in any 24-hour period.
Most common side effects are dizziness, nausea, weakness, feeling sleepy, pain or pressure sensation in the chest or throat. Tell your doctor about any side effects you have.
If you have certain types of heart disease, a history of stroke, TIA, or uncontrolled blood pressure, you should not take RELPAX. Very rarely, certain people, even some without heart disease, have had serious heart-related problems. Talk to your doctor if you have risk factors for heart disease such as smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or if you are pregnant or nursing.
RELPAX, as with other drugs in its class (triptans), can cause serotonin syndrome, particularly when used with certain medications (SSRIs and SNRIs) commonly used to treat depression.
RELPAX should not be used within at least 72 hours of treatment with the following medicines: Nizoral®, Sporanox®, Serzone®, TAO®, Biaxin®, Norvir®, and Viracept®.
