Ubrelvy / ubrogepant for Migraine: What YOU Need to Know

In this episode of The Headache Channel, Dr. Krob explains what everyone with migraine needs to know about Ubrelvy, the amazing new migraine medicine from Allergan.

Errors: At 5:55 I said Ubrelvy is $850 per pill. I meant to say "$850 per fill."

Ubrelvy (ubrogepant) is a life-changing new acute migraine treatment, the first of a new class of drugs: the gepants. Gepants are oral medications whose mechanism of action is to block and inhibit calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and shut down migraine pain, and disabling migraine symptoms of nausea, photophobia (light sensitivity) and phonophobia (sound senstivity).

Ubrelvy can be used by people who have migraine with or without aura, and works even when other treatments (like sumatriptan, rizatriptan, and DHE) have failed. Ubrelvy can be taken by people on common migraine prevention treatments (like topiramate / topamax, amitriptyline, divalproex / depakote, and propranolol), and by people who are using other acute migraine treatments like sumatriptan / Imitrex, rizatriptan (Maxalt), naratriptan (Amerge) or frovatriptan (Frova).
Ubrelvy does not produce medication overuse headache (unlike butalbital / Fioricet / Fiorinal, stadol, hydrocodone, oycodone and codeine) and has no addictive potential.

The side effects of Ubrelvy are few and mild: Nausea, sleepiness and dry mouth. Much more tolerable than the triptans. With Ubrelvy there's no excuse to delay treatment to avoid side effects.

The dose of Ubrelvy is 50 or 100 mg by mouth, as early in the migraine attack as possible. Ubrelvy starts to work in 15 minutes, and 7 in 10 users are PAIN FREE and free of other disabling symptoms within 4 hours. Ubrelvy can be taken again in 2 hours, with a maximum dose of 200 mg a day, 8 days a month, for most users.

Ubrelvy is dispensed in quantities of 10 pills. 10 pills costs $850, but a U-Save Card from the manufacturer (Allergan) reduces the cost for commercially-insured patients to $1 per pill!
