Eletriptan HBr
Sold under the brand name Relpax®, eletriptan hydrobromide (HBr) is a prescription drug used to treat migraine headaches. This product comes in tablet form and is meant to be taken at the onset of migraine symptoms. It should be noted that the medicine will not help to prevent migraines.
The medication works to restore the blood vessels in the head to their normal state after they expand during a migraine. Although most people are able to take it without any problems, side effects are possible. Drowsiness, nausea, and dizziness are some of the most commonly reported side effects of this drug.
