Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
Topiramate is a drug used as a preventive medication for migraine ,means it works like prophylaxis to prevent migraine attacks .Rizatriptan is a drug used to treat migraine headache ,acute episodes.
There is no major interaction between Topiramate and Rizatriptan ,so you can use them together.
It is safe to take Rizatriptan but I would suggest to discuss it with your treating doctor ,mostly if you are taking other medications or have other medical conditions.
Hope it helps.
