Almotriptan, known by the brand name Axert, is a medication that treats migraine attacks once they begin. It helps relieve head pain and migraine symptoms like nausea, light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity.
Almotriptan is meant for adults and teens who have been diagnosed with migraines. It’s not designed to stop future attacks or to treat other headache types, such as cluster or tension headaches.
Blood vessels in the brain widen, and nerve signals trigger intense pain during a migraine attack. Almotriptan works by targeting serotonin receptors (5-HT1B/1D) in the brain to narrow those vessels and calm pain pathways, providing fast relief.
This medicine should be taken as soon as migraine pain starts, not before. Most people find that one tablet helps relieve their migraine within a few hours. If the pain returns, your health care provider may allow a second dose after at least two hours, but you can never take more than 2 tablets of Almotriptan 12.5 mg in a day.
