Atogepant and Migraine

Episode 103: Atogepant (QULIPTA) was just approved by the FDA as a daily oral preventive treatment for migraine. Can we take gepants like Nurtec or Ubrelvy for our acute migraine attacks if we are taking atogepant? How effective is atogepant and what are the side effects? Does it work as well as the injected monoclonal antibodies for migraine prevention?
On this episode, Lindsay Weitzel, PhD, asks migraine clinical trial expert Tim Smith, MD, all the hard questions.

For me, it’s just “ok.” I don’t love how it makes me feel (borderline nausea),and it causes constipation. But, it definitely suppresses my migraines.

I'm considering trialing Qulipta and this was very helpful. Thx!

[@mrs.rogersneighborhood]

Qulipta DEFINITELY decreases my appetite.

I’m hoping this helps me. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼Aimovig worked wonders for me but had a bad side effect.

[@jamescarroll9537]

Do you know if there will be further studies to test reliability in acute abortive therapy?

[@tf9160]

Can you take take Qulipta and Aimovig. Do they interact with each other or compliment each other

[@NationalHeadacheFoundation]

Dr. Timothy Smith replied: "There are no medical warnings or contraindications about using Qulipta and Aimovig together. No formal studies have been done on the combination to assess for added effectiveness or side effects."

Can it possibility effect your kidney or livers?

[@mrs.rogersneighborhood]

I’ve taken it as an abortive, and it helps.
