Maxalt MLT (rizatriptan benzoate) is a prescription medication used to treat migraine attacks in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans, which work by narrowing the blood vessels around the brain. Maxalt MLT is specifically formulated as an orally disintegrating tablet, making it easier to take for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills.

How is this medication used?

Maxalt MLT should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The usual dose is a single tablet taken at the onset of migraine symptoms. If your symptoms improve but then return, a second dose may be taken 2 hours after the first dose. Do not take more than two doses in a 24-hour period.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Maxalt MLT include dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth, nausea, and sleepiness. Some people may also experience chest pain, throat tightness, or a feeling of heaviness or pressure. Rarely, serious cardiac events have occurred. If you experience symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, seek medical attention immediately.

What are the potential interactions?

Maxalt MLT can interact with other medications, including certain antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors), other migraine medications (ergotamines), and CYP3A4 inhibitors. Combining it with these drugs can increase the risk of serious side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking to prevent potential interactions.
