Acute Treatment of Migraine Attacks: The recommended dose of Almotriptan in adults and adolescents age 12 to 17 years is 6.25 mg to 12.5 mg, with the 12.5 mg dose tending to be a more effective dose in adults. If the headache is relieved after the initial almotriptan malate dose but returns, the dose may be repeated after 2 hours. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 25 mg. The safety of treating an average of more than four migraines in a 30-day period has not been established.
