Migraine causes headaches, but not all headaches are migraine. There are some characteristics which distinguish migraine from other types of headaches. Migraine is usually felt as a one-sided throbbing headache that is at least moderately intense and made worse by movement or physical activity. Unlike a regular headache, migraine can cause a wide range of physical and sensory symptoms including nausea, vomiting and increased sensitivity to light, sound and smells. Migraine may also last for much longer than a regular headache – from 4 hours up to 3 days.7
Migraine varies from person to person and it can take a process of trial and error to find a management approach that works for you.7,8 The good news is there are options available.
Triptans may work better in some people than pain relievers like paracetamol and ibuprofen.4,6,9
Also, different triptans may work better for some people than others. So, if one triptan doesn’t work for you, Relpax® Migraine may still provide relief.5
Relpax® Migraine belongs to a family of medicines called triptans and there are several available. All triptans have some common properties, but each one is a little different. You might have to try a few different triptans before you find one that works for you.6,8
Take one tablet as soon as possible after a migraine headache starts.5

Relpax® Migraine is a targeted migraine treatment that works differently from pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen.6
During a migraine attack, blood vessels inside the head become swollen. Relpax® Migraine reduces the size of these blood vessels to relieve migraine pain. It also blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain and stops pain signals to the brain. This can reduce migraine pain and or relieve migraine pain completely.5,6
