1. What is Zolmitriptan Normon and what is it used for

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

Zolmitriptan Normon is used to treat migraine headaches.

  • The symptoms of migraine can be caused by the dilation of blood vessels in the head. It is believed that Zolmitriptan Normon decreases the dilation of these blood vessels. This helps to alleviate the headache and other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as nausea or vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.
  • Zolmitriptan Normon only works when a migraine attack has started. It will not prevent you from having a migraine attack.

  • if you have had a stroke (cerebrovascular accident) or symptoms of short duration similar to a stroke (transient ischemic attack or TIA).
  • if you have severe kidney problems.
  • if you are taking other medicines for migraine (such as ergotamine or ergot-type medicines like dihydroergotamine and methysergide) or other migraine medicines from the triptan group. For more information, see the section "Using Zolmitriptan Normon with other medicines".

If you are not sure if any of these apply to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Zolmitriptan Normon:

  • if you have ever had liver problems.
  • if you have headaches different from your usual migraine headaches.

Zolmitriptan Normon is not recommended for people under 18 or over 65 years of age.

As with other migraine treatments, excessive use of Zolmitriptan Normon can cause you to have daily headaches or worsen your migraine headaches. Consult your doctor if you think this is the case. You may need to stop using Zolmitriptan Normon to correct the problem.

Using Zolmitriptan Normon with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This includes herbal remedies and medicines you buy without a prescription.

In particular, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following medicines:

Migraine medicines

  • Consult your doctor before taking Zolmitriptan Normon during breastfeeding. To reduce the risk of exposing your child to the medicine, avoid breastfeeding for 24 hours after taking Zolmitriptan Normon.

Driving and using machines

  • During a migraine attack, your reactions may be slower than usual. Take this into account when driving or using tools or machines.

It is unlikely that Zolmitriptan Normon will affect your ability to drive or use machines. However, it is best to wait and see how Zolmitriptan Normon affects you before attempting to do these activities.

3. How to take Zolmitriptan Normon

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.

You can take Zolmitriptan Normon as soon as a migraine headache starts. You can also take it once the attack has started.

  • The usual dose is one tablet (5 mg).
  • You can take another tablet after 2 hours, if the migraine still persists or if it comes back within 24 hours.

If these tablets do not provide enough help for your migraine, tell your doctor. Your doctor may also change your treatment.

Do not take more than the dose that has been prescribed for you.

  • Do not take more than two doses in a day. If you have been prescribed the 2.5 mg tablet, the maximum daily dose is 5 mg. If you have been prescribed the 5 mg tablet, the maximum daily dose is 10 mg.

Method of administration

Oral use.

The Zolmitriptan Normon tablet should be placed on the tongue. Before doing so, the mouth should be rinsed with water if available.
