MAXALT-MLT  (RIZATRIPTAN BENZOATE):  Rizatriptan is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headache, pain, and other migraine symptoms (including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound). Prompt treatment helps you return to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. Rizatriptan belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans. It affects a certain natural substance (serotonin) that causes narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. It may also relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain. Rizatriptan does not prevent future migraines or lessen how often you get migraine attacks.   FDA Approval Date: 1998-06-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Migraines I felt a little I was just prescribed this miracle drug today. I have had a non-stop migraine for 2 weeks. It literally went away in 15 minutes. I could see so clearly and there was no pain. Later, the pressure went away as well. It's been 7 hours and it hasn't returned! It tastes bad, though! But, I'm looking forward to returning to work tomorrow!! M 29 1 days

 5  Migraines Drowsiness; slight sore throat - only noticable when swallowing food or drink; sometimes slight feeling of jaw tightness Maxalt has been wonderful for me, relieving unbearable pain. I take 10 mg, and one dose so far for each migraine has been enough. (Although I may have to take another the next day.) Maxalt works almost all of the time and within 40 minutes. When it doesn't work, I find that eating something often helps jump-start it. Maxalt has kept me out of the ER. Don't care for strong mint-like taste, though. It's very expensive, too. Bless the people who have developed this medication. F 50 3 years

 5  Migraines None. It is a miracle drug for me. I don't get sleepy and am able to go on to work. Previously I would get a shot and it would know me out and I missed alot of work. I am very happy with it. F 46 1 years
