RIZONITIME 10

Rizonitime 10 is an orally disintegrating tablet containing Rizatriptan Benzoate 10 mg. Rizatriptan belongs to the triptan class, also called 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists, which are among the most widely used medicines for migraine attacks.

What is an ODT? An orally disintegrating tablet dissolves on the tongue within seconds. You place it on your tongue, let it melt, and swallow it with saliva. This helps in migraine in particular, because:

• No water is needed. You can take it at your desk, in a car or on a train.
• Nausea is common in migraine. Many people feel too queasy to swallow a regular tablet with water. An ODT is easier to take in this situation.
• It is discreet and quick to take. Taking the medicine early in an attack often leads to better results.

The ODT is placed on the tongue and swallowed with saliva. The medicine is absorbed in the gut after swallowing, not through the mouth lining, so it does not work faster than a regular rizatriptan tablet in most people. The advantage is convenience and ease of taking it.

How it works: During a migraine, blood vessels around the brain widen and nerve endings release inflammatory chemicals, including CGRP, that cause pain. Rizatriptan activates 5-HT1B receptors, which narrows the widened cranial blood vessels, and 5-HT1D receptors, which reduces the release of pain-signalling chemicals. Together these actions ease the headache and related symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

The tablet is manufactured by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., Jaipur, a WHO-GMP and ISO certified pharmaceutical company.

Product Information

Why Is Rizonitime 10 Important?

1. Migraine is far more than "just a headache." A migraine attack can bring throbbing, often one-sided pain along with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Some people also have visual disturbances (aura). Attacks can last from hours to days.

2. It affects working-age adults the most. Migraine commonly affects people in their most productive years, and it is more common in women. Missed workdays, reduced productivity, cancelled plans and caregiving difficulties add to the toll. Global disease-burden studies rank migraine among the leading causes of disability.

3. Migraine-specific medicine works better than ordinary painkillers for many people. Simple painkillers help in mild attacks, but moderate-to-severe attacks often need a migraine-specific treatment such as a triptan. Clinical trials have shown that rizatriptan 10 mg relieves migraine headache within 2 hours in a majority of patients compared with placebo.

4. Timing matters. Triptans work best when taken early, during the headache phase, while the pain is still mild or moderate. Waiting until the pain is severe tends to reduce the benefit. An ODT that you can take anywhere makes early treatment realistic.

5. Correct use protects you. Triptans are not for everyone. People with heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure or a history of stroke must not take them, and overuse can lead to medication-overuse headache. That is why a proper diagnosis and prescription matter.
