Important Information About MAXALT
MAXALT is a prescription medicine for the treatment of migraine attacks in adults. Only your health care professional can determine if MAXALT is right for you. You should not take MAXALT if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease or history of heart disease, or if you are taking or have taken MAO inhibitors within the last two weeks, or are taking certain other medications. Tell your doctor about all medications you are taking. Talk to your doctor about any history of chest pain, shortness of breath, or stroke. If you have risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, are postmenopausal, or are a male over 40, you should be evaluated by your doctor before taking MAXALT. Do not take MAXALT if you are pregnant or nursing. As with other drugs in this class, there have been very rare reports of heart attack and stroke generally occurring in patients with risk factors for heart and blood vessel disease.
All prescription drugs can cause side effects. In clinical studies with MAXALT, the most common side effects reported were dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, fatigue, and pain or pressure sensation (eg, in the chest or throat). Ask your doctor to discuss with you the more complete list of side effects reported with MAXALT.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
