Rizatriptan israel prescription only?

Yes. In Israel, rizatriptan is a prescription-only medication (not sold OTC). You’ll need a prescription from a licensed doctor to obtain it from a pharmacy.

A few quick notes:
- Typical adult dosing: 5 mg or 10 mg taken at the start of a migraine. If needed, a second dose can be taken after at least 2 hours, but the total should not exceed 30 mg in 24 hours.
- Uses: relief of acute migraine attacks. It is not for prevention.
- Important interactions and precautions: avoid if you have certain heart problems or uncontrolled high blood pressure; avoid use with ergot-containing drugs or within 24 hours of using ergot drugs; avoid combining with certain antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs) or MAO inhibitors unless your doctor approves. Side effects can include dizziness, fatigue, and sensation of chest pressure.
- For children: dosing varies by age/weight; your doctor will determine if it’s appropriate.
- If you’re in Israel, you can get a prescription from a GP or neurologist; the pharmacist can also advise on availability and generic options.

If you want, I can help you with a quick checklist to discuss with your doctor or explain how rizatriptan compares with other triptans.
