Axert (active ingredient: almotriptan) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Acute Migraine: Axert is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults.

Axert belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin receptor agonists, or triptans, which work by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Almotriptan is taken orally in tablet form at the first sign of a migraine headache. If symptoms improve but return after two or more hours, a second tablet may be taken, but under no circumstances should a second tablet be taken if symptoms do not improve. Patients should adhere to the maximum number of tablets per 24-hour period as directed by their healthcare providers, and follow prescription instructions, ensuring that they do not take more or less than the recommended dose, or take the medication more frequently than prescribed. If doubts arise, patients should consult their doctor or pharmacist for clarification. You should not take almotriptan or any other headache medication for more than 10 days per month. Call your doctor if you need to take almotriptan to treat more than four headaches in a 1-month period.

The typical dosage of almotriptan for adults and adolescents between ages 12 to 17 years is a range of 6.25mg to 12.5mg, with many adults tending to respond better to the latter dose. However, as individuals may vary in their response to different doses of almotriptan, the choice of dose should be made on an individual basis. If the headache symptoms improve after the first dose of almotriptan but later return, a second dose may be repeated after 2 hours, but its effectiveness has not been established in placebo-controlled trials. The patients do not exceed 25mg per 24-hour period as the maximum daily dosage.
