What Is Rizatriptan 10mg ODT?

Rizatriptan ODT is a prescription orally disintegrating tablet used to treat migraine attacks once they have started. It belongs to a class of drugs called triptans, which work by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing the release of substances that trigger migraine pain and other symptoms. The ODT form dissolves on the tongue without water, which can be helpful if a migraine causes nausea. Rizatriptan treats active migraine attacks; it does not prevent migraines or reduce how often they occur.
