Rizatriptan primarily undergoes oxidative deamination mediated by monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) to form triazolomethyl-indole-3-acetic acid, which is not pharmacologically active. N-monodesmethyl-rizatriptan is a minor metabolite with a pharmacological activity comparable to the parent compound's.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
