Measure
Group 1 Intranasal-washout Period-oral
During Period 1, participants received a single dose of Zolmitriptan nasal spray (Zomig® 5 mg; Grünenthal Health). Following a 7-day washout period, participants received a single oral dose of Zolmitriptan Normon 5 mg orodispersible tablets (EFG; Laboratorios Normon) in Period 2.
Group 2 Oral-washout Period- Intranasal
During Period 1, participants received a single oral dose of Zolmitriptan Normon 5 mg orodispersible tablets (EFG; Laboratorios Normon). Following a 7-day washout period, participants received a single dose of Zolmitriptan nasal spray (Zomig® 5 mg; Grünenthal Health) in Period 2.
