Buy Maxalt Melts Online

Maxalt Melt tablets - also known as Maxalt-Mlt - are an effective migraine treatment manufactured by Organon Pharma Ltd.

Unlike other migraine tablets, Maxalt Melt tablets quickly dissolve on your tongue. This makes them suitable for people who have difficulty taking normal tablets, and those who experience vomiting or sickness during a migraine attack. The tablets are peppermint flavoured to make them more palatable to take.

In the UK, Maxalt is only available on prescription. With our online service, you can get a private prescription for migraine tablets online and have the treatment delivered directly to your door.

To get started, simply fill out our online medical form to be reviewed by one of our online prescribers.

If your order is approved by our prescriber before 3pm on weekdays, you can get relief from migraines the next day.

How Do Maxalt Melt Work?

Maxalt Melt tablets contain rizatriptan in the form of rizatriptan benzoate.

When taken, rizatriptan constricts the blood vessels, making it harder for pain signals from being sent to the brain. It also blocks certain substances that cause painful migraine symptoms.

While Maxalt Melt tablets can't prevent a migraine from happening, they can reduce symptoms once a migraine attack has begun.

How long do Maxalt Melt take to work?

Maxalt Melt can start working within 30 minutes for some people. However, it can take up to an hour for Maxalt Melt to start working.

Will Maxalt Melt impact my ability to drive or operate machinery?

Rizatriptan may cause side effects including tiredness and dizziness. If Maxalt Melt causes these side effects, do not drive or operate machinery until you feel that it is safe to do so.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Maxalt Melts?

While it is safe to drink alcohol in moderation while taking rizatriptan, you may choose to avoid drinking alcohol if it triggers a migraine attack.
