Is it allowed to take Zolmitriptan during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found. Similar to Sumitriptan composition which is known to have a low excretion into breast milk.

This medication actually gives me a headache (nothing unbearable) but takes care of all the weird neurological symptoms I usually get with migraines: blind spots, numb/fuzzy extremities, trouble with word recall, etc. Side effects of Zolmitriptan seem minor but sometimes last 24 hrs: hot water makes skin prickle, mild dizziness, generally a little out-of-it.

2.5 MG OF THIS DRUG HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE IN RIDING ME OF A HEADACHE. THE PROBLEM IS THE RECURRENCE OF THESE HEADACHES. THEY TEND TO RECUR EVERYDAY.
