This combination of actions promptly and effectively relieves migraines.

Medicine interaction:
Rizact could interact with:
MAO inhibitors (such Selegiline and Linezolid) can cause serotonin syndrome.
SSRIs and SNRIs (such Fluoxetine, Sertraline, and Venlafaxine) can cause too much serotonin.
Propranolol raises the levels of Rizatriptan; it's best to take both together in a 5mg dose.
Stay away from other Triptans or Ergotamine derivatives for 24 hours.
Drugs that affect serotonin levels or herbal supplements (like St. John's Wort) can make negative effects more likely.
Always tell your doctor about any prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal products you are using.
