Rizafilm
Nothing we track as potentially animal-derived is on this FDA label.
This page covers Rizafilm oral film only. Other forms of Rizafilm are different formulations with different ingredients.
What this means
RizaFilm is a triptan (rizatriptan) oral film used to treat migraine. This page is for the orally disintegrating film.
The active drug is synthetic. An oral film is built from film-forming agents and sometimes gelatin, which can be animal-derived, along with flavorings and colors. The label lists them but not their source, which differs by manufacturer.
That is why the finding here is by maker: there is no single answer for RizaFilm across the board. The answer belongs to the exact manufacturer that made your bottle.
- Keep taking it exactly as prescribed; do not stop or switch on your own.
- Find the manufacturer on your bottle or ask your pharmacist who made it.
- Have a licensed pharmacist ask that manufacturer, in writing, what the inactive ingredients are sourced from.

The animal-ingredient question for RizaFilm is a hidden one, and its source changes depending on which manufacturer made your bottle. The label never says which. A licensed pharmacist asks the manufacturer of your exact medication, in writing, and reports the stated source. Check your RizaFilm →
