Description
Rimegepant (Nurtec ODT)(FDA approved in February 2020) is an ODT available in a single strength of 75 mg for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.No more than 75 mg should be taken in a 24-hour period. while there are no contraindications，concomitant administration with CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided.The most common adverse reaction is nausea, occurring in few patients (rimegepant PI, 2020). In clinical trials, a single 75-mg dose of rimegepant demonstrated superiority over placebo with regard to freedom from pain (21% in the rimegepant group vs.11% in the placebo group) and freedom from the most bothersome symptom (35% vs. 27%) at 2 hours post dose (Croop et al., 2019). Rimegepant is not approved for migraine prevention, although it is presently in late-stage clinical trials assessing it for that indication(NCT03732638,2020).
