When to take RELPAX:
- Take one RELPAX tablet as soon as you feel migraine pain coming on. You might be tempted not to take RELPAX right away, but do not give your migraine a head start. RELPAX provides the most migraine relief when taken at the first sign of pain. A recent study showed that the number of people who became pain-free within 2 hours almost doubled if they treated their migraine early, when the pain was still mild
- Cannot take RELPAX right away? Simply take it as soon as you can. You can still get migraine relief
- Only take RELPAX if you feel a migraine coming on. RELPAX does not prevent a migraine
Most people get migraine pain relief after taking one tablet. However, if your migraine improves and then comes back after 2 hours, you can take a second RELPAX tablet. For any attack where you have no response at all to the first tablet, it is important to talk to your doctor first before taking another tablet. Do not take any more than 2 RELPAX tablets within 24 hours.
How to take RELPAX
Simply take the tablet whole, with water. You do not have to take RELPAX with food.
However, some foods such as aged cheese, red wine, and caffeine may trigger migraines. Read more about common food and drink triggers.
It’s also important to know which medications you should not take with RELPAX. You can read a list of those medications by clicking here.
Why it pays to be prepared:
- Migraines can strike anywhere, at any time, so always keep RELPAX migraine medication with you wherever you go
- The sooner you take RELPAX, the better it will work
- Make sure you always have enough RELPAX tablets. Talk to your doctor to get more refills before you run out. That way, you will never be unprepared

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®.
