1. What is VYDURA and what is it used for
VYDURA contains the active substance rimegepant, which blocks the activity of a substance in the body called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). People with migraine may have high levels of CGRP. Rimegepant binds to the CGRP receptor, reducing the ability of CGRP to also bind to the receptor. This reduces the activity of CGRP and produces two effects:
- it can stop an active migraine attack, and
- it can reduce the number of migraine attacks that occur when taken preventively.
VYDURA is used to treat and prevent migraine attacks in adults.
2. What you need to know before you take VYDURA
Do not take VYDURA
