Maxalt (rizatriptan) is typically prescribed as a single dose of 5 mg or 10 mg for adults, depending on your individual needs and your doctor’s assessment. Begin with the lower dose unless your doctor recommends otherwise.
You can take another dose after 2 hours, if your initial migraine is not relieved, but the total daily dose shouldn’t exceed 10 mg.
For children, Maxalt is not typically recommended. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions.
This information should not replace medical advice. Always consult your physician before starting any new medication.
| 5 mg | Initial dose for many adults. Consider if you’re new to Maxalt or have a history of sensitivity to medication. |
| 10 mg | May be prescribed if 5 mg is ineffective. Only if recommended by your doctor. |
Remember, proper dosage is crucial for effective migraine management. If you experience side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
