INFORMATION ABOUT RIMEGEPANT

Rimegepant Uses

How Rimegepant works

Rimegepant works by blocking the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP receptor), a pathway involved in triggering migraine pain and inflammation. This medicine prevents CGRP from attaching to its receptor, thereby reducing the signals that cause headaches, sensitivity, and discomfort. This helps stop the migraine process and provides sustained relief.
