The tablet should be taken as soon as your migraine appears, but may be taken anytime after the headache starts. A second tablet may be taken if your headache returns, but not sooner than 4 hours following the first tablet. For an individual attack, if you have no response to the first tablet, do not take a second tablet without first talking to your doctor. Do not take more than a total of 5 mg in any 24-hour period.
