Are you exploring your options for acute migraine treatment? Curious about gepants?
Gepants are migraine-specific medications designed based on the scientific understanding of CGRP’s role in migraine pathophysiology. They can be used both as a preventive and acute treatment. This resource discusses gepants as an acute treatment.
Discover what gepants are, how they work, and the currently available options in Canada. You’ll learn about the likelihood of improvement, the trial period, and considerations if triptans or one gepant does not work and whether another gepant might be more effective for you (answer- it may!). Additionally, find answers to commonly asked questions, such as which gepant is best, an overview of potential side effects, no indication of rebound headache with gepants, and important recommendations for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Explore our comprehensive list of adult acute treatment options.
Check out our detailed post for an in-depth look at gepants, including their use as both an acute and preventive treatment. Additionally, our library resource offers further information on using gepants as a preventive treatment option.
