Qulipta is a prescription medicine used to help prevent migraine headaches in adults, it is not used to treat an active migraine.
Qulipta was specifically designed to prevent migraine headaches and is not used to treat other medical conditions, like some older migraine therapies.
Qulipta is available as a tablet and is taken once a day, at the same time each day, and can be taken with or without food.
Migraines are thought to be related to a protein called CGRP which may contribute to the pain, inflammation, and vasodilation associated with migraine attacks.
Qulipta works by blocking the action of the CGRP protein in the body, which may help prevent migraine headaches.
Qulipta contains the active ingredient atogepant which belongs to a class of medications called calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CGRP) antagonists, sometimes it is called a CGRP blocker.
Common Qulipta side effects may include nausea, constipation, feeling tired or weight loss.
