1. What is Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus and what is it used for
Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus contains zolmitriptán and belongs to a group of medications called triptans.
Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus is used to treat migraine headaches in adults aged 18 years and older
- The symptoms of migraine may be caused by a dilation of blood vessels in the head. It is believed that zolmitriptán reduces the dilation of these blood vessels. This helps the disappearance of headache pain and other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as a feeling of discomfort (nausea or vomiting) and sensitivity to light and sound.
- Zolmitriptán acts only when a migraine attack has begun. It will not prevent you from experiencing an attack.
2. What you need to know before starting to take Zolmitriptan Flas Pharmagenus
Do not take Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus
- if you are allergic to zolmitriptán or any of the other ingredients in this medication (listed in section 6)
- if you have high blood pressure
- if you have ever had heart problems, including a heart attack, angina (chest pain caused by exercise or effort), Prinzmetal's angina (chest pain that occurs at rest) or have experienced heart-related symptoms such as shortness of breath or pressure on the chest.
- if you have had a stroke (cerebrovascular accident) or have had transient ischemic attack (TIA) symptoms.
- if you have severe kidney problems.
- if you are taking other migraine medications (such as ergotamine or ergot-type medications like dihydroergotamine and methysergide) or other triptan medications at the same time. For additional information, see the section “Use of Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus with other medications”.
If you are unsure if any of this applies to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

- you have been told that you have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (a type of abnormal heart rhythm)
- you have ever had liver problems
- you experience headaches other than your usual migraine headaches.
- you are taking any other medication for depression (see the section “Use of Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus with other medications”).

Use of Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus with other medications
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take another medication.
This includes herbal remedies and medications that you purchase without a prescription.
Especially, inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications:
Migraine medications
- If you are taking other triptans different from Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus, wait 24 hours before taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus.
- After taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus, wait 24 hours before taking other triptans different from Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus.
- If you are taking medications that contain ergotamine or ergot-type medications (such as dihydroergotamine or methysergide), wait 24 hours before taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus.

Serotonin syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal condition that has been reported in some patients taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus in combination with certain serotonin-related medications (such as buprenorphine or certain medications for depression). Symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include agitation, tremors, restlessness, fever, excessive sweating, spasms, muscle rigidity, uncoordinated movements of the limbs or eyes, and involuntary muscle contractions. Your doctor may provide additional information.
Other medications
- cimetidina (for indigestion or stomach ulcers)

Taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus with food and drinks
You can take Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus with or without food. This does not affect how Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus works.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication.
The safety of taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus during pregnancy is unknown. Before taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
Avoid breastfeeding within 24 hours of taking Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus.
Driving and operating machinery
- During a migraine crisis, your reactions may be slower than usual. Be aware of this when driving or operating tools or machinery.
- It is unlikely that Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus will affect driving or operating machinery. However, it is best to wait and see how Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus affects you before attempting these activities.
Zolmitriptán Flas Pharmagenus contains alcohol benzyl, ethanol (alcohol), aspartame, and sodium
This medication contains less than 0.02 µg of alcohol (ethanol) in each tablet. The amount of alcohol in this medication is much less than 1 ml of beer.
The small amount of alcohol in this medication does not produce any noticeable effects.
This medication contains 0.06 µmg of alcohol benzyl in each tablet. Alcohol benzyl may cause allergic reactions. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have liver or kidney disease.

This medication contains 1.80 mg of aspartame in each tablet.
Aspartame contains a source of phenylalanine that may be harmful if you have phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates because your body is unable to eliminate it correctly.
This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet, which is essentially “sodium-free”.
