Nurtec ODT is rimegepant. It’s a CGRP receptor antagonist approved for both acute treatment and preventive treatment of migraine in adults. Here’s a concise, high-level summary of the prescribing information. If you want the exact, full label text, I can point you to the official FDA/DailyMed labeling. Key points at a glance - Indications - Acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults - Preventive treatment of migraine in adults (dose and duration per label) - Mechanism of action - Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist (gepant) - Formulation - Oral dissolving tablet (ODT) - Administration (general guidance) - Taken as directed for acute treatment; tablet dissolves on the tongue - Can be taken with or without food - Do not chew the tablet - Contraindications - Hypersensitivity to rimegepant or any component of the formulation - Warnings and precautions (high level) - Monitor for adverse reactions; be aware of potential drug interactions - Rimegepant is metabolized by CYP enzymes; interactions with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers may occur - Common adverse reactions - The label lists adverse events observed in trials; refer to the official label for a complete list and frequencies - Drug interactions (conceptual) - Interacts with enzymes (CYP3A4, possibly CYP2C9); strong inhibitors or inducers can alter rimegepant levels - If you’re taking other migraine therapies or liver/metabolic medications, check interactions - Use in special populations - Pregnant or breastfeeding: consult healthcare provider - Pediatric use: approval currently for adults (as of the labeling) - Use with liver impairment: follow label guidance - Storage - Store as directed in the label (usually at room temperature, protect from moisture) Where to find the official labeling - FDA labeling (full, official) and a machine-readable label - DailyMed entry for Nurtec (rimegepant), which contains the current approved labeling text Would you like me to fetch the latest official label text and provide a section-by-section summary (Indications, Dosing, Contraindications, Warnings, Adverse Reactions, Drug Interactions, Use in Special Populations), or tailor the summary for patients vs. clinicians?
