Rimegepant is a medication used for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults and for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. It is administered orally, dissolving on or under the tongue. Rimegepant functions as a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, effectively blocking CGRP receptors to provide relief from migraine symptoms.
In terms of its mechanism of action, rimegepant is a small molecule that selectively targets CGRP receptors, which are believed to play a key role in the pathophysiology of migraine. Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy and safety, with a favorable tolerability profile and no significant vasoconstrictive effects.
