Frequently asked questions

About rimegepant prescriptions

Clinicians on Sesame may prescribe rimegepant (Nurtec ODT) to treat acute migraine attacks and prevent episodic migraines in adults. By blocking CGRP receptors, it can stop current pain and reduce the frequency of future attacks. Book a video visit with a licensed NP, PA, or MD on Sesame to find out if Nurtec migraine treatment is the right fit for you.
No, Nurtec is a medication specifically prescribed for migraines and isn't established for tension or cluster headaches. If you're dealing with severe, throbbing head pain, a provider on Sesame can evaluate your symptoms to identify what’s causing them and determine whether rimegepant is appropriate.
Nurtec ODT is a CGRP receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the chemical signals that trigger migraine attacks. Unlike many migraine treatments, it's an orally disintegrating tablet that dissolves on your tongue without water. During your video visit, a clinician on Sesame can explain how it works and whether it's a better option for you than alternative migraine treatments.

During your virtual consultation, you should discuss all medications and supplements you are taking with your clinician. Some medications can interfere with how rimegepant works. Sharing your full history can help your provider assess how rimegepant fits into your personalized online migraine treatment plan.

Medications that interact with Nurtec ODT include:

  • Carbamazepine
  • Clarithromycin
  • Ketoconazole
  • Phenobarbital
  • Phenytoin
  • Rifampin
  • Ritonavir
  • St. John’s Wort
On Sesame, you pay one clear, upfront price for your video visit and can browse prices on each clinician's profile before you book. The cost of Nurtec varies across pharmacies, but you can use your insurance, HSA, or FSA card to pay for your rimegepant prescription separately at the pharmacy.
Store rimegepant in its original blister pack at room temperature, away from moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. When taking a dose, make sure your hands are dry before peeling back the foil, and avoid pushing the tablet through, as this can damage it. Storing Nurtec tablets safely keeps them effective for the next time you may have migraine symptoms.
If you're taking rimegepant for migraine prevention and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Don’t double up if it's nearly time for your next dose; skip the missed one and continue your regular schedule. If you have questions about your Nurtec dosing, you can message your clinician through Sesame for guidance.
Let your clinician know if you have severe liver or kidney disease, or high blood pressure during your consultation, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Be sure to discuss your diet, as certain foods like grapefruit juice can interfere with how your body processes Nurtec medication. Keeping a headache diary can help your provider track your symptoms and assess how rimegepant is working for you.

The maximum recommended dose of rimegepant is 75 mg in a 24-hour period.

Seek emergency care immediately if you’re worried you’ve taken too much rimegepant, especially if you're experiencing severe symptoms like chest tightness. An MD, DO, or APRN on Sesame can help you manage your dosage and keep your treatment on track.
