Consumer:Rizatriptan is excreted in the urine primarily as metabolites but also as unchanged drug. Following oral administration in patients with renal impairment (CrCl = 10 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), the plasma concentrations of rizatriptan were not significantly altered compared to healthy controls. In hemodialysis patients (CrCl < 2 mL/min/1.73 m2), however, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was approximately 44% greater than that in controls. Therapy with rizatriptan should be administered cautiously in dialysis patients and patients with significantly impaired renal function. A lower initial dosage may be appropriate.
