Rizact 10 mg contains rizatriptan, a selective serotonin receptor agonist designed to treat acute migraine episodes in adults. It provides rapid relief from migraine symptoms, including headache pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. By targeting serotonin receptors in the brain, Rizact works to narrow dilated blood vessels and block pain signals.
