About Zolvent Nasal Spray

Zolvent Nasal Spray is used to prevent migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headaches. They usually occur on one side of the head but can occur on both sides or shift. Hormonal changes, stress, bright lights, loud sounds, and certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches. 

Zolvent Nasal Spray contains Zolmitriptan. It works by constricting blood vessels around the brain, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain, and preventing the release of certain natural substances that cause pain, nausea, and other migraine symptoms.

Take Zolvent Nasal Spray as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Zolvent Nasal Spray for as long as your doctor prescribes it. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as a sore or irritated nose, unusual taste in the mouth, tiredness, dizziness, sensitive skin, especially around the nose and a burning or tingling feeling. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Zolvent Nasal Spray if you are allergic to any of its contents. Inform your doctor if you have had any renal or liver problems, ischemic heart disease, hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat), menopausal disorder, obesity, smoking, cerebrovascular disease, and heart disease. Do not use Zolvent Nasal Spray if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed. Zolvent Nasal Spray may cause drowsiness and tiredness, so drive only if you are alert. Zolvent Nasal Spray should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Zolvent Nasal Spray as it could lead to increased drowsiness.
