Nurtec ODT Orally Disintegrating Tablet
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Nurtec ODT Orally Disintegrating Tablet is a medicine used to treat migraine attacks. It helps ease headaches, nausea, and light or sound sensitivity. It works by blocking the CGRP pathway, which reduces migraine-related pain signals and inflammation.
Take Nurtec ODT Orally Disintegrating Tablet exactly as prescribed and only the recommended dose in a day. Keep it accessible so you can take it at the first sign of a migraine for better relief. Do not exceed the daily limit, and avoid taking other migraine medicines together without your doctor’s advice. If your symptoms change or become frequent, inform your doctor for proper guidance.
Nurtec ODT Orally Disintegrating Tablet may cause mild nausea, abdominal pain, or indigestion (dyspepsia) in some people. These symptoms are usually short-lasting and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. If any discomfort becomes persistent or worsens, consult your doctor for guidance.
Nurtec ODT Orally Disintegrating Tablet should be used with caution in people with a history of allergy, as serious hypersensitivity reactions, including breathing difficulty and rash, can occur even days after taking the dose. It may also lead to worsened high blood pressure, so monitoring is important for those with hypertension.
