RIZACT 10mg (40 Pills)

Rizact 10 mg contains Rizatriptan, a prescription medicine used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura. It belongs to a class of medicines known as triptans, which help relieve migraine symptoms by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing the release of pain-triggering substances.
