VIATRIS' Relpax Migraine (eletriptan) is available over the counter following the decision to down-schedule the medicine from Schedule 4 to Schedule 3.
The decision to approve Relpax Migraine was made by the TGA which opens a pathway for patients suffering from migraine to access treatment earlier and to return to their everyday life sooner.
The Schedule 3 change will see Relpax Migraine available in a small pack (maximum two tablets) without a prescription.
Schedule 4 larger packs (40 & 80mg) will still be available and will require a prescription.
Relpax Migraine should be taken as soon as possible after the start of a migraine.
Relpax Migraine provides migraine relief that begins working in as early as 30 mins.
To receive Relpax Migraine, people suffering from acute migraine should discuss their symptoms with their GP or their pharmacist to learn more about the suitability of this treatment and accessing it over the counter.
