Relpax is an acute-treatment triptan for migraine. Selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist with one of the highest oral bioavailabilities among triptans — potent and rapid-acting.
Relpax is an acute-treatment triptan for migraine. Selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist with one of the highest oral bioavailabilities among triptans — potent and rapid-acting.
How Relpax Works:
Migraine involves activation of the trigeminovascular system, releasing CGRP and other neuropeptides that cause cranial vasodilation and neurogenic inflammation. Triptans constrict cranial vessels (5-HT1B), inhibit neuropeptide release from trigeminal neurons (5-HT1D), and reduce central pain transmission.
Eletriptan binds 5-HT1B/1D receptors with high affinity, producing rapid relief of migraine pain, photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea — typically within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Effectiveness highest when taken at first sign of migraine.
Form and use:
Relpax 20 or 40 mg tablet at onset of migraine. May repeat after 2 hours if needed; max 80 mg/24h. Not for hemiplegic/basilar migraine, CAD, stroke history, peripheral vascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension. Avoid concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Generic availability:
Generic eletriptan widely available. Other triptans (most with generics): sumatriptan (Imitrex generic), rizatriptan (Maxalt generic), zolmitriptan (Zomig generic), almotriptan (generic), naratriptan (Amerge generic), frovatriptan (Frova generic). Newer non-triptan acute migraine options: gepants (ubrogepant/Ubrelvy, rimegepant/Nurtec ODT — for patients with cardiovascular contraindications to triptans), lasmiditan (Reyvow).
Warnings:
Relpax contraindicated in ischemic heart disease, coronary vasospasm, peripheral vascular disease, stroke history, uncontrolled hypertension, hemiplegic/basilar migraine, severe hepatic impairment. Other warnings: cardiac events (rare MI, vasospasm), serotonin syndrome (with SSRIs/SNRIs/MAOIs), increased BP, medication-overuse headache.
Brand $200–$400/pack. Generic eletriptan $30–$80/pack. Other generic triptans similarly cheap.
Yes, FDA-approved bioequivalent.
All triptans share the same general mechanism. Eletriptan has high oral bioavailability and is one of the more potent oral triptans. Different patients respond differently to different triptans — if one doesn’t work, try another.
Triptans contraindicated in ischemic heart disease, prior MI, peripheral vascular disease, stroke history, uncontrolled hypertension. Newer gepants (Ubrelvy, Nurtec ODT) and lasmiditan (Reyvow) don’t cause vasoconstriction and may be appropriate for cardiovascular contraindications.
Using triptans >10–15 days/month risks medication-overuse headache. For frequent migraines, preventive therapy (anti-CGRP antibodies, beta-blockers, topiramate, amitriptyline) is needed.
