QULIPTA
QULIPTA (atogepant) is a medication indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. It belongs to the pharmacological class of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonists. This therapy is specifically approved for use in the adult patient population to manage migraine through a preventive approach.
How QULIPTA Works
Atogepant functions as a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist. The drug works by targeting and binding to the CGRP receptor, which serves as its primary biological target. By blocking this receptor, atogepant prevents the CGRP protein from interacting with it, thereby producing its therapeutic effect in migraine prevention.
