How to use Zolmitriptan nasal Spray?

To use Zolmist Nasal Spray, gently blow your nose to clear nasal passages. Shake the spray bottle well, then remove the protective cap. Hold the spray upright, insert the nozzle into one nostril, and close the other. Press the pump while inhaling gently through your nose.

How does the nasal spray work?

Zolmist Nasal Spray works by targeting serotonin (5-HT) receptors in the brain. It narrows dilated blood vessels around the brain, which are a primary cause of migraines. Additionally, it reduces inflammation and blocks the release of pain-signaling chemicals.

The nasal spray ensures rapid absorption through the nasal lining, providing quick relief from migraine symptoms like headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound, making it highly effective during acute attacks.

Benefits

Zolmist Nasal Spray offers rapid relief from acute migraines, making it ideal for those who experience sudden and severe symptoms. Its nasal delivery ensures quick absorption, bypassing the digestive system, which is particularly beneficial during nausea or vomiting.

The spray effectively narrows dilated blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain, light sensitivity, and other migraine-related symptoms. Convenient and easy to use, it allows precise dosing and is a reliable choice for managing migraines under medical supervision.
