rizatriptan

Treatment for Cluster Headache

Rizatriptan is a selective serotonin receptor (5-HT1B/1D) agonist that works by causing vasoconstriction of cranial blood vessels and inhibiting pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release in the trigeminal system. By binding to these receptors, it effectively reduces neurogenic inflammation and alleviates pain associated with cluster headaches, providing rapid symptomatic relief for patients experiencing these intense, short-duration headaches.
