Medically reviewed by:Jessica Swirble, PharmD

Rimegepant is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches. It belongs to the class of drugs known as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonists. Rimegepant works by blocking the effects of CGRP, a neurotransmitter involved in migraine attacks, which helps to alleviate migraine symptoms.

Rimegepant is available under the brand name Nurtec ODT and does not have a generic version available at this time.

This medication can only be obtained with a prescription, meaning you must have a written prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to purchase it.

Rimegepant is primarily prescribed for the acute treatment of migraine headaches in adults. It is intended to provide relief from migraine symptoms, such as severe head pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound, when a migraine attack occurs. Rimegepant can be taken every other day for migraine prevention.
Rimegepant works by blocking the CGRP receptor, which transmits pain signals during a migraine attack. By inhibiting CGRP activity, rimegepant helps reduce the inflammation of blood vessels in the brain and relieve migraine symptoms.
