How Does Rizatriptan Work?
Rizatriptan belongs to a class of drugs called triptans, which work on serotonin receptors to constrict widened blood vessels in the brain during a migraine.
By reducing inflammation and abnormal nerve activity, Rizatriptan helps relieve migraine symptoms within 30 to 60 minutes when taken at the first sign of an attack.
