CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some common questions about Zomig. It does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking Zomig against the benefits they expect it will have for you.
If you have any concerns about taking this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep this information with the medicine.

What Zomig is used for
This medicine belongs to a group called serotonin agonists. Zomig is used to relieve headache and other symptoms of a migraine attack. Zomig tablets may be used to treat the more common or everyday kinds of migraine. There is no information on the use of Zomig in special kinds of migraine known as 'basilar migraine' or 'hemiplegic migraine'.
It is thought that the migraine headache is caused by widening of certain blood vessels in the head. Zomig tablets can make these vessels normal again and ease the headache. Some patients with migraine also get 'aura', which is a warning sign of temporary change in eye sight or speech, sometimes associated with vomiting. Zomig may relieve the other symptoms associated with a migraine attack.
Zomig tablets should only be taken to treat the headache of a migraine attack after it has started. They should not be used to prevent migraine attacks from occurring.
Zomig tablets do not work in other types of headache which are not a migraine.
