While some medications used to prevent migraine were initially developed to treat other conditions, QULIPTA was specifically designed to prevent migraine attacks. It works by directly targeting CGRP to block it from attaching to receptors.1
While research into the exact mechanism that causes migraine is ongoing, CGRP is known to play a role.4,5
When CGRP binds to CGRP receptors, it causes pain, inflammation, and vasodilation.4-6
CGRP=calcitonin gene-related peptide.
