Dear Dr Beatrice Marianne!
Thank you very much for your quick response.
However this is a well-known synthetic drug of the triptan class, and I would like to learn about other (class of CGRP [calcitonin gene-related peptide] monoclonal antibodies for the prevention of migraine or class of medication known as ditans )
Thanks
Best
Hello,
the antibodies are designed and tested to prevent migraine headache in episodic and chronic migraine. They are not intended as acute treatment, where the mainstay remain the triptans or, in the ER setting, intravenous NSA and metoclopramide.
