Zolmist Nasal Spray is used to treat acute migraine attacks by narrowing the blood vessels, thereby relieving migraine headaches and preventing the attack from becoming worse.
Introduction:
Zolmist Nasal Spray is used to treat acute migraine attacks. It works by narrowing the blood vessels, thereby relieving migraine headaches and preventing the attack from becoming worse. Some tips that may help avoid a migraine attack include having your meals at the same time every day, avoiding bright lights and extreme temperatures, and getting enough sleep and avoiding stress.
Dosage Form:
Nasal Spray
How to Use:
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breathe gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.
How it Works:
Migraine headaches are thought to result from the dilatation (swelling) of blood vessels in the head. Zolmist Nasal Spray is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the inner lining of the nose. Once absorbed, it works by constricting (narrowing) the blood vessels in the head, stops transmission of pain signals to the brain, and blocks the release of chemicals that cause nausea and other migraine symptoms. This relieves the migraine attack.
