Suggest Alternate Medication For Zolmitriptan To Relieve Migraines
I m a 65 years old woman in good health and suffer from migraine and have been taking Zolmitriptan 5mg successfully for years and now my aarp/medicare plan does not cover it and I can t afford to pay it on my own. What prescriptions can I take that work like Zolmitriptan. This prescription does not upset my stomach. Thank you, Vicki

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Zolmitripan is a member of the triptan family of drugs so you can consider trying another drug in this family of medications.
Some of the other medications in this list of drugs include: (1) sumatriptan- also known as imitrex
(2)rizatriptan---malaxt
(3)eletriptan (relapax)
(4)naratriptan-amerge
You may be able to get one of these medications to help with your migraine.
I hope this helps
