Editing Triptan (section)

==Adverse effects==
Triptans have few side effects if used in correct dosage and frequency. The most common adverse effect is recurrence of migraine. A [[systematic review]] found that "rizatriptan 10 mg was the only triptan with a recurrence rate [the reappearance of moderate to severe pain within 24 hours after the response at 2 hours] greater than that of placebo".<ref name="pmid17883520">{{cite journal |vauthors=Pascual J, Mateos V, Roig C, Sanchez-Del-Rio M, Jiménez D |title=Marketed oral triptans in the acute treatment of migraine: a systematic review on efficacy and tolerability |journal=Headache |volume=47 |issue=8 |pages=1152–68 |year=2007 |pmid=17883520 |doi=10.1111/j.1526-4610.2007.00849.x|doi-access=free }}</ref>

There is a theoretical risk of coronary spasm in patients with established heart disease, and cardiac events after taking triptans may rarely occur.<ref name="pmid9827245">{{cite journal |vauthors=Dahlöf CG, Mathew N |title=Cardiovascular safety of 5HT1B/1D agonists--is there a cause for concern? |journal=Cephalalgia: An International Journal of Headache |volume=18 |issue=8 |pages=539–45 |year=1998 |pmid=9827245 |doi=10.1046/j.1468-2982.1998.1808539.x|s2cid=30125923 }}</ref>
