Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. The recommended starting dose of Maxalt is 10 mg. Take it as soon as you feel a migraine coming on.
If 10 mg Doesn’t Work
If your headache doesn’t improve within two hours, you can take a second 10 mg tablet. Don’t exceed 20 mg in a 24-hour period.
Frequency of Use
Maxalt is designed for acute migraine treatment, not for daily use. Limit your use to no more than two attacks per week. Frequent use can lead to medication overuse headaches. Consult your doctor if you need to take Maxalt more often.
Important Considerations
Take Maxalt with water. You can take it with or without food. Report any side effects to your physician immediately. This information doesn’t substitute for professional medical advice.
