ZAVZPRET
ZAVZPRET (zavegepant hydrochloride) is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist indicated for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. The medication is used for the management of migraine episodes occurring either with or without aura. It is specifically intended for acute treatment and is not indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine.
How ZAVZPRET Works
Zavegepant functions as a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist. The drug works by targeting and binding to CGRP receptors, thereby blocking the activity of the CGRP neuropeptide. This antagonism of the CGRP receptor is the mechanism by which the medication treats the symptoms of an active migraine attack.
