MigraMax

What is MigraMax?

MigraMax is a dual-action migraine treatment. Containing two different types of medicine (a painkiller and an anti-emetic), it relieves both pain and nausea.

You should take MigraMax when you start to notice migraine symptoms in order to relieve them; it isn’t a regular treatment to prevent or reduce migraine attacks. If you get frequent migraine attacks, speak to our clinician for advice.

How does MigraMax work?

MigraMax contains two different active ingredients: metoclopramide and lysine acetylsalicylate. 

Metoclopramide belongs to a class of medicines called anti-emetics, which work on muscles in the upper part of your digestive system to empty your stomach, as well as stopping feelings of nausea in your brain. 

Lysine acetylsalicylate is a painkiller which is broken down into aspirin, which then blocks cyclo-oxygenase - a naturally occurring substance in your body that makes some of the chemicals responsible for pain sensations.

These two active ingredients work in tandem in order to treat a range of migraine symptoms when they appear.

What doses of MigraMax are there?

MigraMax is only available in one dose, and you should only use one sachet at a time. If you don’t feel like MigraMax is working to alleviate your symptoms at this dosage, speak to our clinician. It might be the case that you need to try another treatment.

How to take MigraMax

You should always take MigraMax exactly as prescribed by our clinician. To take MigraMax: pour the contents of one sachet into some water mix well, and drink straight away if your symptoms persist, you can take another sachet two hours later don’t take more than three sachets in a 24 hour period.

How long does it take MigraMax to work?

MigraMax is a rapidly absorbed treatment, and you should start to notice an effect within 40 minutes. If you don’t feel like your symptoms are improving, you can take another dose after two hours. Don’t exceed three doses in a day. If you often find yourself needing to take your maximum daily dose of MigraMax, speak with our clinician. You might be more suited to an alternative treatment.

What should I do if I make a mistake when taking MigraMax?

Too much MigraMax can be dangerous, so seek medical attention straight away if you’ve accidentally taken more than you should have. If you need to go to the hospital, make sure you take the medicine packaging with you so that the clinicians know what you’ve taken.
