Get Nurtec Online

Nurtec ODT (rimegepant) is FDA-approved for two uses in adults: acute treatment of migraine attacks (with or without aura) and preventive treatment of episodic migraine. For acute use, one 75 mg tablet is taken as needed at the onset of an attack. For prevention, it is taken every other day.

Nurtec belongs to the gepant class of CGRP receptor antagonists. Rather than constricting blood vessels like triptans, it blocks the CGRP receptor that plays a central role in migraine pain signaling. This makes it an option for patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond to triptans, including those with cardiovascular concerns.

In clinical trials, some patients experienced pain relief as early as 60 minutes after taking Nurtec, with a significant proportion achieving pain freedom within 2 hours. Individual response times may vary.

The most commonly reported side effect in clinical trials was nausea, occurring in a small percentage of patients. Nurtec is generally well tolerated. Contact your provider if you experience any unusual or severe reactions after taking it.

Yes. Nurtec is the only single medication FDA-approved for both acute treatment of migraine and preventive treatment of episodic migraine. Your Doctronic physician will help determine which use case or combination approach is most appropriate for you.

Nurtec is metabolized by the CYP3A4 and P-gp enzyme pathways. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as certain antifungals and antibiotics) can significantly increase rimegepant levels, while strong inducers can reduce its effectiveness. Be sure to share a complete list of your medications with your provider during your evaluation.
