Nurtec ODT (rimegepant) is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor blocker, which means it blocks CGRP receptors in the brain to prevent certain cellular processes that are thought to be involved with causing migraines. This can also help stop migraine pain and any inflammation (swelling) in your brain.

Receptors help cells communicate and bring about responses, such as pain. Nurtec ODT works by blocking CGRP receptors from being activated. This can help to treat and prevent migraine attacks. Nurtec ODT can also help stop the pain signals, swelling of blood vessels, and inflammation that occurs in the brain.

Nurtec ODT has an average rating of 5.9 out of 10 from a total of 212 reviews for the treatment of Migraine. 48% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 37% reported a negative experience.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a protein that is released during migraine attacks, causing inflammation and activation of other pathophysiological processes responsible for pain. Rimegepant [Nurtec® ODT (USA); Vydura® (EU)] is an oral medication that works by blocking the CGRP receptors.
