Important Safety Information

ZOMIG is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults, where a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established.

ZOMIG is not intended for the prophylactic therapy of migraine and is not indicated for the treatment of cluster headache.

• ZOMIG is contraindicated in patients with
  • Ischemic heart disease (eg, silent ischemia, angina), coronary artery vasospasm, or other significant underlying cardiovascular disease
  • Cerebrovascular syndromes (eg, history of stroke or TIA)
  • Peripheral vascular disease (eg, ischemic bowel disease)
  • Uncontrolled hypertension

• ZOMIG should not be administered to patients with hemiplegic or basilar migraine
• It is strongly recommended that ZOMIG not be given to patients in whom unrecognized coronary artery disease (CAD) is predicted by the presence of risk factors without a satisfactory cardiac evaluation
• Patients with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or arrhythmias associated with other accessory cardiac conduction pathways should not receive ZOMIG
• Development of a potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome may occur with triptans particularly during combined use with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
