1. What Zolmitriptan Flas Cinfa is and what it is used for

Zolmitriptan Flas Cinfa contains zolmitriptan and belongs to a group of medicines called triptans.

Zolmitriptan Flas Cinfa is used to treat migraine headaches in adults over 18 years of age.

  • Migraine symptoms may be caused by the swelling of blood vessels in the head. It is thought that Zolmitriptan Flas Cinfa works by narrowing these blood vessels. This helps to relieve the headache and other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as feeling sick (nausea or vomiting) and being sensitive to light and sound.
  • Zolmitriptan Flas only works when a migraine attack has already started. It will not prevent you from getting a migraine attack.
