Zomig Rapimelt belongs to a group of anti-migraine drugs called 5-HT1 agonists. Zomig Rapimelt is used to relieve your migraine headache and other associated symptoms of a migraine attack.

The usual dosage is 2.5 mg, or lower if recommended by your doctor. The Zomig Rapimelt 2.5 mg orally dispersible tablets cannot be broken in half. The dose should be taken as soon as your migraine appears, but it may be taken at any time during your migraine headache. For Zomig Rapimelt orally dispersible tablets, the blister pack should be peeled open as shown on the foil (tablets should not be pushed through the foil). The Zomig Rapimelt tablet should be placed on the tongue, where it will dissolve with the saliva. Water is not needed for the dispersible tablet. A second dose may be taken if your headache returns, but not sooner than 2 hours following the first tablet. For any attack where you have no response to the first dose, do not take a second dose without first consulting your doctor. Do not administer more than 10 mg in any 24-hour period.
