About This Medication

# Amneal Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Zomig (zolmitriptan) at Low or No Cost Zomig (zolmitriptan) is a prescription medication used to treat **migraine headaches** with or without aura in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs called **triptans**, which work by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing substances that trigger migraine symptoms like pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. The **Amneal Patient Assistance Program (PAP)** offers eligible patients free Zomig for up to one year, shipped directly to your home, helping those facing financial hardship get this important treatment without high costs. ## Who Qualifies for the Program?

Key requirements include: - **Residency**: U.S., Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands resident. - **Financial Need**: Household income must meet program guidelines (proof required). - **Insurance Status**: Uninsured, underinsured, or Medicare Part D enrollees who have spent at least **3% of annual household income** out-of-pocket on prescriptions. - **No State/Federal Program Claims**: You cannot submit claims under programs like Medicare or Medicaid for this medication through the PAP. **About Zomig**: Zomig comes in forms like tablets, orally disintegrating tablets (Zomig ZMT), or nasal spray.
