Relpax

Brand: RELPAX

Generic: ELETRIPTAN

RELPAX is a prescription medicine used to treat migraine headaches in adults. RELPAX is not for other types of headaches.

Treatment with RELPAX reduces swelling of blood vessels surrounding the brain. This swelling is associated with the headache pain of a migraine attack. RELPAX blocks the release of substances from nerve endings that cause more pain and other symptoms like nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. It is thought that these actions contribute to relief of your symptoms by RELPAX.
