How do you take this medication?
In most cases, you take this medication as soon as the headache begins (as directed by your healthcare provider). You can swallow a tablet with water, use a nasal spray or receive an injection depending on your prescription.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Typically, you take this medication as needed when a migraine or cluster headache occurs so there's no daily dosing schedule to miss. If you forget to take it during a migraine, take it as soon as you remember. Do not exceed the recommended dose in a 24-hour period.
What happens if I take too much?
This is a strong medication (potent vasoconstrictor) that can make the blood vessels in your body, including the coronary arteries (those that supply blood to the heart), get narrower or constricted (vasospasm), so taking too much of this medication can increase the risk of side effects like chest pain, spasms, irregular heartbeat or high blood pressure. Follow your medical provider’s instructions and not exceed the recommended limits to avoid these issues.
If you’ve taken too much, contact your healthcare provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222) right away.
