A migraine is more than just a bad headache. Migraine attacks cause terrible, throbbing pain, usually on one side of your head. Migraines can also cause the following symptoms:
- Sensitivity to light
- Sensitivity to sound
- Nausea
- Aura
Left untreated, migraines can last from 4 hours to 3 days.
Other types of headaches include:
Cluster headaches:
- Can be severe, usually around or behind one eye
- May also cause tears, a stuffy or runny nose, flushing, and swelling of the eyelid on the same side as the pain
- Can last from a few minutes to over 2 hours
- Can hit up to 8 times in a single day
- Hit you in “clusters” over a period of a few weeks to several months
- Create a feeling of pressure or tightening on both sides of your head
- Pain is usually mild to moderate
- Last from just a few minutes to a few days
- Occur several times per month
- Cause pain behind the forehead, cheeks, and around the eyes
- Pain varies from mild to severe
- Pain may be worse in the early morning
- Other symptoms include fever, stuffy nose, feeling tired, swollen lymph nodes, and a green or yellow discharge from your nose. Many people who think they have sinus headaches don’t have these symptoms. Often, they just have pain high in their cheeks. It is more likely that they actually get migraines
- Often associated with changing hormone levels that occur during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause
- Chemically induced hormone changes, such as with birth control pills, also trigger these headaches in some women
It is important to note that RELPAX does NOT treat these types of headaches.
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®.
