Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 55700-756-06 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 55700-0756-06. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

🩺 Clinical

📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Eletriptan is used to treat the symptoms of migraine headaches (severe throbbing headaches that sometimes come with nausea and a strong reaction to sound and light). Eletriptan is in a class of medications called selective serotonin receptor agonists. It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain, stopping pain signals from being sent, which stops the release of certain natural substances that cause pain, nausea, and other symptoms of migraine. Eletriptan does not stop migraine attacks from coming or reduce the number of headaches you have.

🧪 Inactive Ingredients / Excipients

Inactive ingredients, also called excipients, are components of the drug product other than the active ingredient. They may include fillers, dyes, coatings, preservatives, flavors, or other formulation ingredients.

Loading inactive ingredients from the official FDA label in the background. No external source is being called by this page request.
Where does this data come from?
Source: official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed and the openFDA label index. Structured IACT rows and label-wide narrative are kept separate; availability and product-level specificity depend on the submitted label.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer eachPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · quarterly No Part D plan price is available for this NDC in our data.
ℹ️
No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

📊 Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Eletriptan HBr (matched by generic name) — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 6 manufacturers.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Eletriptan HBr. CMS lists 2 products for this generic; we show the highest-spend one. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

💵 About the dollar figures: spending is what Part D plans paid before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
What does the discontinued status mean for this NDC?
The labeler reported a marketing end date (or the listing was delisted), so this specific package is no longer actively marketed. Remaining stock may still be dispensed for a time, and the NDC stays valid for historical records and claims — but data feeds (pricing, labeling) typically stop updating for it. Other package sizes or other manufacturers' versions of the same medication may still be marketed — see the equivalents section where available.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 55700-756-06, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 55700-0756-06, written without dashes as 55700075606. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 55700-0756-06, the first segment (55700) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Quality Care Products, LLC; the middle segment (0756) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (06) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Quality Care Products, LLC is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.

🎯 Indications and Usage 160 words ▾

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Limitations of Use: Use only if a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established. If a patient has no response to the first migraine attack treated with eletriptan hydrobromide tablets, reconsider the diagnosis of migraine before eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are administered to treat any subsequent attacks.

Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are not intended for the prevention of migraine attacks. Safety and effectiveness of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets have not been established for cluster headache. Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets is a serotonin (5-HT 1B/1D ) receptor agonist (triptan) indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults ( 1 ) Limitations of Use: Use only after a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established ( 1 ) Not indicated for the prophylactic therapy of migraine ( 1 ) Not indicated for the treatment of cluster headache ( 1 )

⏱️ Dosage and Administration 160 words ▾

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The maximum recommended single dose is 40 mg. In controlled clinical trials, single doses of 20 mg and 40 mg were effective for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. A greater proportion of patients had a response following a 40 mg dose than following a 20 mg dose [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .

If the migraine has not resolved by 2 hours after taking eletriptan hydrobromide tablets, or returns after transient improvement, a second dose may be administered at least 2 hours after the first dose. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 80 mg. The safety of treating an average of more than 3 migraine attacks in a 30-day period has not been established.

Single dose: 20 mg or 40 mg ( 2 ) Maximum single dose: 40 mg ( 2 ) May repeat dose after 2 hours if needed; not to exceed 80 mg in any 24-hour period ( 2 )

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~2 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets should only be used where a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established. Myocardial ischemia/infarction or Prinzmetal’s angina: Perform cardiac evaluation in patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors ( 5.1 ) Arrhythmias: Discontinue eletriptan hydrobromide tablets if occurs ( 5.2 ) Chest/throat/neck/jaw pain, tightness, pressure, or heaviness: Generally not myocardial ischemia; evaluate high risk patients for CAD ( 5.3 ) Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or stroke: Discontinue eletriptan hydrobromide tablets if occurs ( 5.4 ) Gastrointestinal ischemia or infarction events, or peripheral vasospastic reactions: Discontinue eletriptan hydrobromide tablets if occurs ( 5.5 ) Medication overuse headache: Detoxification may be necessary ( 5.6 ) Serotonin syndrome: Discontinue eletriptan hydrobromide tablets if occurs ( 5.7 , 7.3 )

5.1Myocardial Ischemia, Myocardial Infarction, and Prinzmetal's Angina Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are contraindicated in patients with ischemic or vasospastic CAD. There have been rare reports of serious cardiac adverse reactions, including acute myocardial infarction, occurring within a few hours following administration of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets. Some of these reactions occurred in patients without known CAD.

Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets may cause coronary artery vasospasm (Prinzmetal’s angina), even in patients without a history of CAD. Perform a cardiovascular evaluation in triptan-naive patients who have multiple cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., increased age, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, obesity, strong family history of CAD) prior to receiving eletriptan hydrobromide tablets. Do not use eletriptan hydrobromide tablets if there is evidence of CAD or coronary artery vasospasm [see Contraindications ( 4 )].

For patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors who have a negative cardiovascular evaluation, consider administering the first eletriptan hydrobromide tablets dose in a medically-supervised setting and performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) immediately following administration of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets. For such patients, consider periodic cardiovascular evaluation in intermittent long-term users of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets.

5.2Arrhythmias Life-threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation leading to death have been reported within a few hours following the administration of 5-HT 1 agonists. Discontinue eletriptan hydrobromide tablets if these disturbances occur. Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are contraindicated in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or arrhythmias associated with other cardiac accessory conduction pathway disorders [see Contraindications ( 4 )].

5.3Chest, Throat, Neck and/or Jaw Pain/Tightness/Pressure Sensations of tightness, pain, and pressure in the chest, throat, neck, and jaw commonly occur after treatment with eletriptan hydrobromide tablets and are usually non-cardiac in origin. However, perform a cardiac evaluation if these patients are at high cardiac risk. Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are contraindicated in patients with CAD or Prinzmetal’s variant angina [see Contraindications ( 4 )].

5.4Cerebrovascular Events Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke have occurred in patients treated with 5-HT 1 agonists, and some have resulted in fatalities. In a number of cases, it appears possible that the cerebrovascular events were primary, the 5-HT 1 agonist having been administered in the incorrect belief that the symptoms experienced were a consequence of migraine, when they were not. Before treating headaches in patients not previously diagnosed as migraineurs, and in migraineurs who present with symptoms atypical of migraine, other potentially serious neurological conditions need to be excluded.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in other sections of the prescribing information: Myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction, and Prinzmetal’s angina [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Arrhythmias [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Chest, throat, neck, and/or jaw pain/tightness/pressure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Cerebrovascular events [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Other vasospasm reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Medication overuse headache [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Serotonin syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] Increase in blood pressure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Hypersensitivity reactions [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] Most common adverse reactions (≥ 5% and > placebo) were asthenia, nausea, dizziness, and somnolence.

These reactions appear to be dose-related. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Ajanta Pharma USA Inc. at 855-664-7744 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Among 4,597 patients who treated the first migraine headache with eletriptan hydrobromide tablets in short-term placebo-controlled trials, the most common adverse reactions reported with treatment with eletriptan hydrobromide tablets were asthenia, nausea, dizziness, and somnolence.

These reactions appear to be dose-related. In long-term open-label studies where patients were allowed to treat multiple migraine attacks for up to 1 year, 128 (8.3%) out of 1,544 patients discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions. Table 1 lists adverse reactions that occurred in the subset of 5,125 migraineurs who received eletriptan doses of 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg or placebo in worldwide placebo-controlled clinical trials.

Only adverse reactions that were more frequent in a eletriptan hydrobromide tablets treatment group compared to the placebo group with an incidence greater than or equal to 2% are included in Table 1.

The incidence of adverse reactions in controlled clinical trials was not affected by gender, age, or race of the patients. Adverse reaction frequencies were also unchanged by concomitant use of drugs commonly taken for migraine prophylaxis (e.g., SSRIs, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants), estrogen replacement therapy or oral contraceptives.

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reaction(s) have been identified during post approval use of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to dru…

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

7.1Ergot-Containing Drugs and Other 5-HT1B/1D Agonists Ergot-containing drugs have been reported to cause prolonged vasospastic reactions. Because these effects may be additive, use of ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications (like dihydroergotamine [DHE] or methysergide) and eletriptan hydrobromide tablets within 24 hours of each other is contraindicated . Concomitant use of other 5-HT 1 agonists within 24 hours of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets treatment is contraindicated [see Contraindications ( 4 )] .

7.2CYP3A4 Inhibitors Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors significantly increase the exposure of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: based on animal data, may cause fetal harm ( 8.1 )

8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. In reproductive toxicity studies in pregnant animals, oral administration of eletriptan was associated with developmental toxicity (decreased fetal and pup weights and an increased incidence of fetal structural abnormalities) at clinically relevant plasma exposures. Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

When pregnant rats were administered eletriptan during the period of organogenesis at doses of 10, 30 or 100 mg/kg/day, fetal weights were decreased and the incidences of vertebral and sternebral variations were increased at 100 mg/kg/day (approximately 12 times the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] of 80 mg/day on a mg/m 2 basis). The 30 and 100 mg/kg/day doses were also maternally toxic, as evidenced by decreased maternal body weight gain during gestation. The no-effect dose for developmental toxicity in rats was 30 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 4 times the MRHD on a mg/m 2 basis.

When doses of 5, 10, or 50 mg/kg/day were given to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis, fetal weights were decreased at 50 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 12 times the MRHD on a mg/m 2 basis. The incidences of fused sternebrae and vena cava deviations were increased at all doses. Maternal toxicity was not evident at any dose.

A no-effect dose for developmental toxicity in rabbits was not established; the lowest dose tested (5 mg/kg/day) is similar to the MRHD on a mg/m 2 basis.

8.3Nursing Mothers Eletriptan is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are administered to a nursing woman.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. The efficacy of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets (40 mg) in patients 11-17 was not established in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 274 adolescent migraineurs [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Adverse reactions observed were similar in nature to those reported in clinical trials in adults.

Postmarketing experience with other triptans includes a limited number of reports that describe pediatric patients who have experienced clinically serious adverse reactions that are similar in nature to those reported rarely in adults. Long-term safety of eletriptan was studied in 76 adolescent patients who received treatment for up to one year. A similar profile of adverse reactions to that of adults was observed.

The long-term safety of eletriptan in pediatric patients has not been established.

8.5Geriatric Use Blood pressure was increased to a greater extent in elderly subjects than in young subjects. The pharmacokinetic disposition of eletriptan in the elderly is similar to that seen in younger adults [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . In clinical trials, there were no apparent differences in efficacy or the incidence of adverse reactions between patients under 65 years of age and those 65 and above.

8.6Hepatic Impairment The effect of severe hepatic impairment on eletriptan hydrobromide tablets metabolism has not been evaluated. Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets are not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

🆘 Overdosage 63 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE The elimination half-life of eletriptan is about 4 hours [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , therefore monitoring of patients after overdose with eletriptan should continue for at least 20 hours or longer while symptoms or signs persist. There is no specific antidote to eletriptan. It is unknown what effect hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis has on the serum concentration of eletriptan.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Eletriptan binds with high affinity to 5-HT 1B , 5-HT 1D and 5-HT 1F receptors, has modest affinity for 5-HT 1A , 5-HT 1E , 5-HT 2B and 5-HT 7 receptors. Migraines are likely due to local cranial vasodilatation and/or to the release of sensory neuropeptides (vasoactive intestinal peptide, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide) through nerve endings in the trigeminal system. The therapeutic activity of eletriptan hydrobromide tablets for the treatment of migraine headache is thought to be due to the agonist effects at the 5-HT 1B/1D receptors on intracranial blood vessels (including the arterio-venous anastomoses) and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system which result in cranial vessel constriction and inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption: Eletriptan is well absorbed after oral administration with peak plasma levels occurring approximately 1.5 hours after dosing to healthy subjects. In patients with moderate to severe migraine the median T max is 2.0 hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of eletriptan is approximately 50%.

The oral pharmacokinetics are slightly more than dose-proportional over the clinical dose range. The AUC and C max of eletriptan are increased by approximately 20 to 30% following oral administration with a high fat meal. Eletriptan hydrobromide tablets can be taken with or without food.

Distribution: The volume of distribution of eletriptan following IV administration is 138L. Plasma protein binding is moderate and approximately 85%. Metabolism: The N-demethylated metabolite of eletriptan is the only known active metabolite.

This metabolite causes vasoconstriction similar to eletriptan in animal models. Though the half-life of the metabolite is estimated to be about 13 hours, the plasma concentration of the N-demethylated metabolite is 10-20% of parent drug and is unlikely to contribute significantly to the overall effect of the parent compound. In vitro studies indicate that eletriptan is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P-450 enzyme CYP3A4 [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )] .

Elimination: The terminal elimination half-life of eletriptan is approximately 4 hours. Mean renal clearance (CL R ) following oral administration is approximately

3.9L/h. Non-renal clearance accounts for about 90% of the total clearance. Special Populations Age: The pharmacokinetics of eletriptan are generally unaffected by age.

Blood pressure was increased to a greater extent in elderly subjects than in young subjects [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5 )] . The pharmacokinetic disposition of eletriptan in the elderly is similar to that seen in younger adults. There is a statistically significant increased half-life (from about 4.4 hours to 5.7 hours) between elderly (65 to 93 years of age) and younger adult subjects (18 to 45 years of age) [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5 )] .

Gender: The pharmacokinetics of eletriptan are unaffected by gender. Race: A comparison of pharmacokinetic studies run in western countries with those run in Japan has indicated an approximate 35% reduction in the exposure of eletriptan in Japanese male volunteers compared to western males. Population pharmacokinetic analysis of two clinical studies indicates no evidence of pharmacokinetic differences between Caucasians and non-Caucasian patients.

Menstrual Cycle: In a study of 16 healthy females, the pharmacokinetics of eletriptan remained consistent throughout the phases of the menstrual cycle. Renal Impairment: There was no significant change in clearance observed in subjects with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment, though blood pressure elevations were observed in this population [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] . Hepatic Impairment : Subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment demonstrated an increase in both AUC (34%) and half-life.

The C max was increased by 18%. No dose adjustment is…
