Zolmitriptan (Zomig) and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health
Zomig (Zolmitriptan) (also: Zomig ZMT (orally disintegrating), Zomig Nasal Spray) — Triptan (5-HT1B/1D agonist; acute migraine)
Verdict at Tovani Health
Fully compatible; same updated guidance as sumatriptan — historical SS concern is overstated for ketamine.
Zolmitriptan and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. Same triptan framework as sumatriptan and rizatriptan. The historical concern about serotonergic stacking (FDA 2006 advisory) has been updated based on subsequent evidence; ketamine itself isn't a meaningful serotonergic agent, so the SS framing that applies to SSRIs doesn't transfer here. Use triptans as needed for migraine. Available as tablet, orally disintegrating tablet, and nasal spray.
If you take Zomig regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is generally safe at therapeutic doses. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.
How Zomig interacts with ketamine
Selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist with cranial vasoconstriction and inhibition of trigeminal nociceptive transmission. CYP1A2 substrate. No clinically significant interaction with ketamine.
What we do at intake
Continue as needed for migraines.
