Rizatriptan, while effective for migraine relief, can cause side effects. Common ones include dizziness, drowsiness, and tingling sensations. These usually are mild and temporary. Less frequent, but still possible, are warmth or flushing of the face, neck, and chest.
More Serious Side Effects
While rare, more serious side effects warrant immediate medical attention. These include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, and seizures. Allergic reactions, such as hives or swelling, also require prompt medical help. If you experience any of these, stop taking Rizatriptan and seek medical assistance immediately.
Remember to inform your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications before starting Rizatriptan. This helps minimize potential risks and ensures safe use.
