Dosing Information In Adults: The recommended starting dose of Rizatriptan Benzoate is either 5 mg or 10 mg for the acute treatment of migraines in adults. The 10-mg dose may provide a greater effect than the 5-mg dose, but may have a greater risk of adverse reactions.

Redosing In Adults: Although the effectiveness of a second dose or subsequent doses has not been established in placebocontrolled trials, if the migraine headache returns, a second dose may be administered 2 hours after the first dose. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 30 mg in any 24-hour period. The safety of treating, on average, more than four headaches in a 30-day period has not been established.

The efficacy and safety of treatment with more than one dose of Rizatriptan Benzoate within 24 hours in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age have not been established.
