What Is Eletriptan 40mg?
Eletriptan is a prescription medication in the triptan class, sold under the brand name Relpax. It is used to treat migraine attacks once they have started — it is not intended to prevent migraines or reduce how often they occur. Eletriptan works by activating serotonin (5-HT1) receptors, which narrows swollen blood vessels around the brain and blocks the release of pain-signaling substances. It is taken as a tablet at the first sign of a migraine.
