Hello Mrs.! Rizatriptan is not a first-line medication because of the lack of data on its safety during pregnancy
Another drug in the same class, sumatriptan, is preferred unless it has not been effective or tolerated. Your pharmacist will be able to contact your doctor to suggest an alternative for you
I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
