Maxalt (rizatriptan) comes in different forms and dosages. The recommended starting dose for adults is usually 5 mg or 10 mg, taken orally at the first sign of a migraine. You can take a second dose after two hours if needed, but don’t exceed 10 mg in a single dose. The maximum daily dose is 20 mg.
Maxalt for Migraine Prevention
Maxalt isn’t typically used for migraine prevention. For preventive treatment, your doctor might suggest other medications. They will guide you on the best approach based on your individual needs.
Dosage Adjustments
Patients with moderate or severe kidney problems may require dosage adjustments. Your doctor should determine the correct dosage for your specific situation. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Never increase your dosage without consulting your physician.
