Rizatriptan, sold under the brand name Maxalt among others, is a medication used for the treatment of migraine headaches.[1][3] It is taken by mouth.[1][3] It can also be applied on the tongue.[2] It is a serotonin (5-HT) 1B/1D receptor agonist (triptan).[1][2]

Common side effects include chest pain, dizziness, dry mouth, and tingling.[3] Other side effects may include myocardial infarction, stroke, high blood pressure, serotonin syndrome, and anaphylaxis.[3] Excessive use may result in medication overuse headaches.[3] Use is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended within 24 hours after taking a dose.[4] Rizatriptan is in the triptan class and is believed to work by activating the 5-HT1 receptor.[3]

Rizatriptan was patented in 1991 and came into medical use in 1998.[5][6] It is available as a generic medication.[4] In 2023, it was the 208th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 2 million prescriptions.[7][8] Rizatriptan is available in combination with meloxicam as meloxicam/rizatriptan.

Medical uses

[edit | edit source]

Rizatriptan is indicated to treat acute migraine attacks with or without aura.[1][2] It does not prevent future migraine attacks.[9] A 2010 review found rizatriptan to be more efficacious and tolerable than sumatriptan.[10]

Contraindications

[edit | edit source]

Rizatriptan and other triptans can cause vasoconstriction, they are contraindicated in people with cardiovascular conditions.[11]

Adverse effects

[edit | edit source]

Frequent adverse effects (incidence less than 10%) are dizziness, drowsiness, asthenia/fatigue, and nausea. Clinical adverse experiences were typically mild and short-lasting (2–3 hours).[11]

Interactions

[edit | edit source]

Rizatriptan has an important but complex interaction with a metabolite of the beta blocker propranolol.[12] This interaction involves the enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A).[12] Due to the interaction, the dose of rizatriptan should be reduced to 5 mg when it is combined with propranolol.[12]

Rizatriptan acts as an agonist at serotonin 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors.[27] Like the other triptans sumatriptan and zolmitriptan, rizatriptan induces vasoconstriction—possibly by inhibiting the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide from sensory neurons in the trigeminal nerve.[27]

Chemistry

[edit | edit source]

Rizatriptan, also known as 5-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a tryptamine derivative and a 5-substituted derivative of the psychedelic drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT).[28]

The experimental log P of rizatriptan is 1.4 and its predicted log P is 1.67 to 1.77.[28][29]

History

[edit | edit source]

Rizatriptan was patented in 1991 and was introduced for medical use in 1998.[5][6]
