Re : Zolmitriptan (Zomig)
Zolmitriptan is a new derivative of sumatriptan...basically it is more
bioavailable.
We have no data on its transfer into human milk, but I would assume it low
just as with sumatriptan.
If Immitrex(sumatriptan) would work for this patients migraine, it would be
a better choice due to poor milk levels(documented) and poor oral
bioavailability in the neonate.
