Zolvent nasal spray uses

How zolvent nasal spray works

Migraine headaches are thought to result from the dilatation (swelling) of blood vessels in the head. Zolvent Nasal Spray is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the inner lining of the nose. Once absorbed, it works by constricting (narrowing) the blood vessels in the head, stops transmission of pain signals to the brain, and blocks the release of chemicals that cause nausea and other migraine symptoms. This relieves the migraine attack.
