What Eletriptan is and what it is used for:

• • Eletriptan is one of a group of medicines called serotonin receptor agonists.

• • Serotonin is a natural substance found in the brain that helps to narrow the blood vessels.

• Before the start of a migraine headache, you may experience a phase called an aura, which can involve vision disorders, numbness and speech disorders.

Do not use Eletriptan if:

• • You have taken ergotamine or medicines like ergotamine (including methysergide) within 24 hours before or after taking Eletriptan.
