Eletriptan is a prescription medication used to treat acute migraine headaches with or without aura. It belongs to the class of drugs known as selective serotonin receptor agonists. Eletriptan works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing substances that can trigger migraine symptoms, such as head pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Eletriptan is available in its generic form or under the brand name Relpax.
This medication can only be obtained with a prescription, meaning you must have a written prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to purchase it.
