Maxalt, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common reactions include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. These usually are mild and temporary. However, report any persistent or worsening symptoms to your doctor immediately.
More Serious Side Effects
Less common but more serious side effects require prompt medical attention. These include allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), heart problems (chest pain, irregular heartbeat), and seizures. Seek immediate medical care if you experience any of these.
Proper hydration can help minimize some side effects like dizziness. Avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants while taking Maxalt to reduce the risk of drowsiness and other interactions. If side effects are bothersome, discuss alternative treatment options with your physician. They can help adjust your dosage or suggest an alternative medication.
Always read the complete medication guide provided with your prescription for a full list of potential side effects and precautions. This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions or concerns about Maxalt or any medication you are taking.
