This medication is not intended for preventive migraine treatment but focuses on relieving symptoms once they occur. It may also be used for cluster headaches in some cases.

What does Zolmitriptan interact with?

Zolmitriptan may interact with other serotonin-affecting medications, such as SSRIs or SNRIs, increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome.
