Maxalt Melt 10mg Lyophilisates is a prescription only medication containing the active ingredient Rizatriptan. It is a common medication used to treat migraine headaches, and come in the form of oral wafers (lyophilisates) which dissolve in the mouth for fast and effective relief. It relieves the pain of a throbbing headache, which is the most common symptom of migraine. It can also help to alleviate other, less common symptoms, such as aura or flashing lights, speech problems and co-ordination difficulties. The active ingredient, Rizatriptan, belongs to a class of medication known as triptans. Unlike other forms of pain relief commonly used to treat migraines, Maxalt Melts work to treat the source of the migraine instead of the symptoms, resulting in a more effective form of migraine relief. Triptans such as Rizatriptan are often used when traditional methods of pain relief have failed to treat a migraine.

It is thought that migraines occur as a result of serotonin - a natural chemical messenger in the brain - causing the blood vessels in the head to widens. Maxalt Melt contracts the vessels back to their normal width, relieving the symptoms associated with migraines.
Migraine associated headaches are thought to occur due to excess serotonin in the brain, resulting in the widening of blood vessels. This dilation triggers the onset of a migraine. Rizatriptan, the active ingredient of Maxalt Melt, works to treat migraine headaches by constricting the blood vessels in the brain, providing effective relief. It does this by selectively target serotonin receptors.
