1. What RAYVOW is and what it is used for
RAYVOW contains the active substance lasmiditan, which is used to treat headache during acute migraine attacks, with or without aura, in adults.
RAYVOW helps to reduce or eliminate pain and other symptoms associated with migraine headache. Pain relief may be felt as early as 30 minutes after taking RAYVOW.
2. What you should know before taking RAYVOW
Do not take RAYVOW
- if you are allergic to lasmiditan or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Do not engage in activities requiring full attention, such as driving or operating machinery,
within 8 hours after taking each dose of RAYVOW, even if you feel well enough to do so,
because it may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. If you are unable
to follow this recommendation, you must not take RAYVOW.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking RAYVOW if:
- you are taking medicines that increase serotonin levels (see "Other medicines and RAYVOW"). These medicines increase the risk of side effects such as serotonin syndrome (a rare reaction that may cause mental changes, such as seeing things that are not there (hallucinations), agitation or coma; rapid heartbeat; changes in
blood pressure; elevated body temperature; muscle stiffness; difficulty walking;
nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea)
- you are taking other medicines or substances that cause drowsiness, such as sleeping pills, medicines for psychiatric conditions, or alcohol
- you have ever been dependent on prescription medicines, alcohol, or other drugs.
If you repeatedly use any medicine for migraine treatment over several days or
weeks, this may lead to long-term daily headaches. Inform your doctor if this
occurs, as treatment may need to be stopped for a period.
Children and adolescents
RAYVOW must not be given to patients under 18 years of age because there is
insufficient information on its effects in this age group.
Other medicines and RAYVOW
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take
any other medicines.
In particular, inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking RAYVOW if you are taking:
- medicines that reduce heart rate, such as propranolol
- medicines that increase serotonin levels (including SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors [MAOIs], or triptans)
- digoxin (used to treat heart conditions)
RAYVOW and alcohol
Caution is advised if you drink alcohol while taking RAYVOW.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor
before taking this medicine. It is not known whether RAYVOW has harmful effects on the unborn child.
RAYVOW is not recommended during pregnancy.
If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking this medicine. It is not known whether
lasmiditan passes into breast milk. Breastfeeding is recommended to be avoided for 24 hours
after treatment to minimize the amount of lasmiditan passed to the infant.
It is not known whether RAYVOW affects fertility.
Driving and using machines
RAYVOW affects the ability to drive vehicles and use machinery. Do not engage in activities
requiring full attention, such as driving or operating machinery, for at least 8 hours after
taking each dose of lasmiditan, even if you feel well enough to do so. If you cannot follow
this recommendation, you must not take RAYVOW.
RAYVOW contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per tablet, i.e. essentially
‘sodium-free’.
3. How to take RAYVOW
Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If
you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
- The recommended starting dose of lasmiditan is 100 mg. Your doctor will decide which lasmiditan dose is appropriate for you.
- If you do not obtain relief from pain after the first tablet, do not take a second tablet for the same attack, as it is unlikely to be effective.
- If after taking the first tablet of 50 mg or 100 mg the migraine completely resolves and then returns, you may take a second tablet of the same dose no sooner than 2 hours after the first dose.
- You must not take more than 200 mg within 24 hours.
- If a dose of 100 mg does not relieve your migraine or causes undesirable effects, consult your doctor, who may recommend a higher dose (200 mg) or a lower dose (50 mg).
Use in children, adolescents and patients with hepatic impairment
RAYVOW is not recommended in children and adolescents (under 18 years of age) or in patients
with severe liver problems.
Route of administration
RAYVOW is for oral use. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water during the headache phase of a migraine attack. You may take the tablet with or without food.
If you take more RAYVOW than you should
If you take more RAYVOW than you should, contact your doctor immediately. You may experience some of the adverse effects described in section 4.
If you forget to take RAYVOW
RAYVOW is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine and should only be taken when needed.
If you have any doubts about how to use this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
