Zominat (2.5mg) 3 Tablets

Overview

Zominat 2.5mg is an oral tablet medicine containing zolmitriptan, a migraine-specific treatment from the triptan group. It is used to treat an active migraine attack, including migraine with or without aura, when a healthcare professional has determined that zolmitriptan is suitable for the patient. This pack contains 3 tablets, each with 2.5mg strength.

Zominat is not a routine painkiller and is not intended for daily headache prevention. It should be used only for migraine attacks that match the patient’s diagnosed migraine pattern. People with new, unusual, very severe, or changing headaches should seek medical assessment before using migraine-specific medicine.
