Are zolmitriptan tablets ever prescribed for silent migraines?
Yes, it can be. Silent migraines (ocular migraines, acephalgic migraines) are migraines in which the pain phase of the migraine is not experienced. This means the prodrome, aura phase, and post drome phases can be, the aura being the most noticeable. Whether or not you are prescribed migraine abortive medication to deal with your silent migraines really depends on how long your aura lasts. If you have an aura which only lasts 15 minutes, then by the time the medication would start working - your aura might be over anyway. If, however, you have an aura which lasts 30 minutes or longer, it might benefit you to have medication that will end it. Because zolmitriptan is a medication targetted toward aborting migraine, not just simply treating migraine pain, it can be successful at treating migraine aura.
