Are you exploring your options for migraine prevention? 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 as both a preventive and acute treatment. This resource discusses gepants as a preventive treatment.
Discover what gepants are, how they work, and the currently available gepants in Canada. You’ll learn about the likelihood of improvement, the benefit of no indication of medication overuse, and considerations if one gepant does not work and whether another might be more effective for you (answer- it may!). Additionally, you’ll find answers to commonly asked questions, including trial period length, history of failure with other preventives, an overview of potential side effects, and important recommendations for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
