How does zolmist Nasal Spray work?
Zolmist Nasal Spray works by delivering zolmitriptan, a selective serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptor agonist, directly into the bloodstream through the nasal mucosa. Once absorbed, it acts on serotonin receptors in the brain, causing the constriction of dilated blood vessels believed to contribute to migraine pain.
This action helps reduce inflammation and block the release of certain neuropeptides that trigger migraine symptoms. By targeting the underlying mechanisms of a migraine attack, Zolmist provides rapid relief from headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
