When and How to Take Relpax
Some general considerations for when and how to take Relpax include the following:
- Relpax should be taken by mouth as soon as possible once a migraine starts.
- Swallow Relpax tablets whole with a drink of water or other fluid.
- If your headache comes back or does not go away, your healthcare provider may recommend taking a second dose of Relpax after waiting at least two hours after the first dose. Let your healthcare provider know if Relpax does not completely work after one dose.
- For Relpax to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. Relpax will not work if you stop taking it.
The dose of Relpax your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- How you respond to Relpax
- Other medical conditions you may have
- Other medications you may be taking.
As is always the case, do not adjust your Relpax dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
