Pain Relief

What does pain relief mean when shopping for medicines?

Pain relief is a treatment goal rather than a single type of medicine. Depending on the cause, approaches can include non-drug measures, nonprescription analgesics, anti-inflammatory medicines, and prescription treatments designed for particular pain conditions. Migraine-related pain is distinct from everyday aches and may call for migraine-specific treatment rather than a general pain reliever.

What should you consider before choosing a pain-relief approach?

Consider the type of pain, how often it occurs, its severity, associated symptoms, and whether a clinician has identified a condition such as migraine. Acute migraine treatments are intended for migraine attacks and should not be treated as interchangeable with medicines used for other kinds of pain. A prescriber or pharmacist can help determine whether a migraine-specific option is appropriate for you.

Which pain-relief product do we list?

We currently list Maxalt, an oral tablet containing rizatriptan, a triptan used for acute migraine attacks. We offer 5 mg and 10 mg strengths. The 5 mg strength is available in packages of 8, 12, 20, 28, 36, or 52 tablets, while the 10 mg strength comes in packages of 32 or 48 tablets. Prices start at $38.00, and the lowest listed price is $3.92 per tablet for the 5 mg, 52-tablet package.

What is the prescription status of this option in the United States?

In the United States, rizatriptan tablets are prescription-only. MAXALT is FDA-approved for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults and in pediatric patients ages 6 to 17. This regulatory information applies to this medicine and does not define the prescription status of every product that may be used toward pain relief.
