What is Relpax?

Relpax (eletriptan) is a medication used to treat migraine headaches which have already started. Eletriptan narrows blood vessels around the brain and reduces substances in the body which may trigger migraine symptoms such as headache pain, nausea or sensitivity to light and sound. Relpax should only be used to treat migraines and will not work to prevent migraines or reduce the frequency of them. This medication should only be used on headaches confirmed by a doctor as migraine headaches and should not be used to treat other kinds of headaches.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Take Relpax as soon as you notice any migraine symptoms. If your headache does not completely go away or if it comes back, then you may take a second tablet two hours after the first. You should not take more than 80mg of eletriptan within a 24 hour period.
• You should never use more than your prescribed dose. Overuse of migraine medication can make headaches worse. Do not take medication for more than 10 days within a month.
• Tell your doctor if your headaches do not go away after taking Relpax or if the medication stops working as well as previously.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug or other allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.
• Your medical history especially of heart disease, angina, heart attack, heart rhythm disorders, stroke, “mini-stroke”, blood circulation problems, diabetes, high cholesterol, a lack of blood supply to the heart, high blood pressure, liver disease, kidney disease, ischemic bowel disease, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or any headaches which seem different to usual migraine headaches.
• Your family history of coronary artery disease.
• If you have any other risk factors for coronary artery disease including menopause, smoking, being overweight, being a man over 40 or being a omen who has had a hysterectomy.
• If you are pregnant, planning on pregnancy or breast feeding.
