Safely Buy Relpax ( Eletriptan ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Relpax is a migraine medication used to treat active migraine headaches with and without auras.

Eletriptan is a serotonin 5 receptor agonist that stimulates the constriction of intracranial blood vessels and inhibits the release of inflammatory neuropeptides. These actions help Relpax treat migraines, which are thought to occur in response to the widening of blood vessels in your brain and sensory neuropeptides in your trigeminal system.
