Actions and Spectrum:
Mechanism of Action:
ubrogepant works by blocking the activity of the CGRP receptors, which transmit pain signals associated with migraines. CGRP is a neuropeptide released during migraine attacks and is believed to play a vital role in the pathophysiology of migraines. By inhibiting the CGRP receptors, ubrogepant helps reduce inflammation and the transmission of pain signals, relieving migraine symptoms.
Spectrum of Activity
