See the DrugPatentWatch profile for rizatriptan

Yes. Generic rizatriptan is available in many countries. The generic is rizatriptan (usually as rizatriptan benzoate tablets or an orodispersible tablet). It’s the same active ingredient as the brand-name Maxalt/Maxalt-MLT.

Key points:
- Forms and strengths: 5 mg and 10 mg tablets; 10 mg rizatriptan ODT (orodispersible tablet).
- Typical dosing: Take 5 mg or 10 mg at migraine onset. If needed, a second dose can be taken after at least 2 hours. Do not exceed 30 mg in 24 hours.
- When not to use: Do not use with ergot drugs or within 24 hours of another triptan. Also avoid if you have or are at risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, or similar vascular problems. If you’re taking MAO inhibitors, or have kidney/hepatic issues, discuss with a clinician.
- Timing: Often works within 30–60 minutes.
