About Zolpax MD Nasal Spray 0.7 ml

Zolpax MD Nasal Spray 0.7 ml belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antimigraine agents' used to prevent migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache, which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift. Hormonal changes, stress, bright lights, loud sounds, and certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches.
