What is Ubrogepant?

Ubrogepant, the active ingredient in UBRELVY, is a CGRP receptor antagonist presented as a 100 mg tablet for oral use. It is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. GNH USA supplies UBRELVY as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics worldwide.

UBRELVY is a prescription medication specifically designed to address the immediate symptoms of migraine. It works by blocking the activity of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a protein involved in the onset of migraine pain. This targeted approach helps to alleviate the severity and duration of migraine attacks.

What is Ubrogepant used for?

UBRELVY is a CGRP receptor antagonist used to treat acute migraine attacks. It is not intended for the prevention of migraines but rather for the relief of symptoms once they occur.

- Migraine with aura: Provides relief from migraine attacks that are preceded by sensory disturbances such as visual disturbances, numbness, or speech difficulties. - Migraine without aura: Effective in treating migraine attacks that occur without any preceding sensory disturbances. - Acute treatment: Designed to reduce the severity and duration of migraine pain and associated symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

What are the side effects of Ubrogepant?

UBRELVY may cause various side effects, ranging from common to serious or rare. It is important to be aware of these potential reactions and consult a healthcare provider if they occur.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: A feeling of sickness in the stomach that may or may not lead to vomiting. - Sleepiness: A feeling of drowsiness or fatigue that may affect daily activities. - Dry mouth: A condition characterized by a lack of saliva, leading to discomfort in the mouth. - Dizziness: A sensation of lightheadedness or unsteadiness. - Fatigue: A feeling of extreme tiredness or lack of energy. - Constipation: Difficulty in passing stools, which may cause discomfort and bloating.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypersensitivity reactions: Allergic reactions that may include symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. - Liver problems: Symptoms may include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), dark urine, or persistent nausea and vomiting. - Increased blood pressure: Elevated blood pressure levels that may require medical attention.

What precautions apply to Ubrogepant?

UBRELVY should be used with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Certain precautions and warnings should be considered to ensure safe and effective use.

- Allergic reactions: Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if signs of a serious allergic reaction occur, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, or severe rash. - Liver function: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver problems or if you experience symptoms of liver dysfunction while taking UBRELVY. - Drug interactions: Avoid taking UBRELVY with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, as they can increase the risk of side effects. Consult your healthcare provider before taking UBRELVY with other medications. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety of UBRELVY during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice. - Grapefruit and grapefruit juice: Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as it can increase the levels of UBRELVY in your body and raise the risk of side effects. - Store below 25°C: Keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

What does Ubrogepant interact with?

UBRELVY may interact with other medications, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. It is important to be aware of these interactions and consult a healthcare provider before combining treatments.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Medications such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and clarithromycin can significantly increase the levels of UBRELVY in the body, raising the risk of side effects. - BCRP and P-gp inhibitors: Drugs like carvedilol, quinidine, and eltrombopag can also increase the levels of UBRELVY, potentially leading to adverse reactions. - CYP3A4 inducers: Medications such as rifampin and phenytoin can decrease the effectiveness of UBRELVY by reducing its levels in the body.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors: Drugs like cyclosporine can moderately increase the levels of UBRELVY, requiring close monitoring for potential side effects. - Hormonal birth control: UBRELVY may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control methods, necessitating the use of additional contraceptive measures.

Frequently asked questions

What is UBRELVY used for?+
UBRELVY is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. It is not intended for the prevention of migraines but helps to alleviate the symptoms once they occur. UBRELVY works by blocking the activity of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a protein involved in the onset of migraine pain.
How does Ubrogepant work?+
Ubrogepant, the active ingredient in UBRELVY, works by selectively antagonizing the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor. CGRP is a protein that is released during migraine attacks and contributes to vasodilation and neurogenic inflammation. By blocking the CGRP receptor, UBRELVY inhibits these processes, thereby reducing the pain and other symptoms associated with migraines.
What is the usual dose of UBRELVY?+
The recommended dose of UBRELVY is 50 mg or 100 mg taken by mouth. If the first dose does not relieve symptoms, a second dose may be taken 2 hours later. The maximum dose is 200 mg during any 24-hour period. The safety of taking more than 16 doses in a 30-day period is not known, so no more than 16 doses should be taken in a month. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Is UBRELVY safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of UBRELVY during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. It is important to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider can help weigh the potential benefits and risks of using UBRELVY in your specific situation.

How does UBRELVY compare to other migraine treatments?+
UBRELVY is a CGRP receptor antagonist, a relatively new class of medication for the acute treatment of migraines. It works by blocking the activity of the CGRP protein, which is involved in the onset of migraine pain. Compared to traditional migraine treatments like triptans, UBRELVY may offer a different mechanism of action and potentially fewer side effects. However, the choice of treatment depends on individual patient factors and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
How should UBRELVY be stored and handled?+
UBRELVY should be stored at room temperature, below 25°C, and protected from light and moisture. Keep the medication in its original packaging and out of the reach of children. Do not dispose of medications in wastewater or household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
How is UBRELVY administered?+
UBRELVY is administered orally in the form of tablets. The recommended dose is 50 mg or 100 mg taken by mouth. If the first dose does not relieve symptoms, a second dose may be taken 2 hours later. The maximum dose is 200 mg during any 24-hour period. UBRELVY can be taken with or without food, but grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be avoided as it can increase the levels of UBRELVY in the body.
What are the most serious risks to watch for with UBRELVY?+
The most serious risks associated with UBRELVY include hypersensitivity reactions, such as anaphylaxis, dyspnea, facial or throat edema, rash, urticaria, and pruritus. These reactions can occur minutes, hours, or days after administration. If a serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue UBRELVY and seek immediate medical attention. Other serious risks include liver problems and increased blood pressure.
Who should not use UBRELVY?+
UBRELVY should not be used by individuals who have a known hypersensitivity to ubrogepant or any of the inactive ingredients in the medication. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver problems or if you are taking other medications that may interact with UBRELVY. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
