  2.1 Dosing Information in Adults

  The recommended starting dose of rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets 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 [see Clinical Studies (14.1)].

  Redosing in Adults

   Although the effectiveness of a second dose or subsequent doses has not been established in placebo-controlled 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.

  2.2 Dosing Information in Pediatric Patients (Age 6 to 17 Years)

  Dosing in pediatric patients is based on the patient's body weight. The recommended dose of rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets is 5 mg in patients weighing less than 40 kg (88 lb), and 10 mg in patients weighing 40 kg (88 lb) or more.

  The efficacy and safety of treatment with more than one dose of rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets within 24 hours in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age have not been established.

  2.3 Administration of Rizatriptan Benzoate Orally Disintegrating Tablets

  For rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets, administration with liquid is not necessary. Orally disintegrating tablets are packaged in a bottle and patients should not remove the tablet from the bottle until just prior to dosing. The bottle should then be opened with dry hands and the orally disintegrating tablet placed on the tongue, where it will dissolve and be swallowed with the saliva.

  2.4 Dosage Adjustment for Patients on Propranolol Adult Patients

  In adult patients taking propranolol, only the 5 mg dose of rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets is recommended, up to a maximum of three doses in any 24-hour period (15 mg) [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

  Pediatric Patients

  For pediatric patients weighing ≥ 40 kg (88 lb) taking propranolol, only a single 5 mg dose of rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets is recommended (maximum dose of 5 mg in a 24-hour period). Rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets should not be prescribed to propranolol-treated pediatric patients who weigh less than 40 kg (88 lb) [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

  How to use this enema:

  Left-side position: Lie on left side with knee bent and arms at rest.

  Kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface. Position arms comfortably.

  Administering enema:

  With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel. Insertion may be easier if person receiving enema bears down, as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus. Do not force the enema tip into rectum as this can cause injury. Squeeze bottle until nearly all liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed. Remove enema tip from rectum. Retain enema in accordance with doctor's instructions.
