Zolmitriptan, sold under the brand name Zomig among others, is a medication used to treat migraine attacks and cluster headaches.[3] It may also be used to prevent menstrual migraines.[3] It is used as a tablet by mouth or as a nose spray.[3]

Common side effects include tingling, nausea, dry mouth, and dizziness.[2] Other side effects may include medication overuse headaches.[2] Serious side effects may include coronary vasospasm, stroke, high blood pressure, anaphylaxis, and serotonin syndrome.[2] It is unclear if use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is safe.[1][3] It is a triptan that works as a selective serotonin receptor agonist of the 1B and 1D subtypes.[2]

Zolmitriptan was patented in 1990 and approved for medical use in 1997.[4] It is avaliable as a generic medication.[3] In the United Kingdom 6 doses costs the NHS about £12 as of 2020.[3] This amount in the United States costs about 30 USD as of 2021.[5]
