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.
