This includes one ditan, a serotonin agonist for acute migraine treatment, four CGRP monoclonal antibodies used for preventive treatment of migraines, and four gepants. These gepants include ubrogepant for acute migraine treatment, rimegepant for acute and preventive migraine treatment, atogepant, which is FDA-approved for preventive treatment of episodic and chronic migraine, and zavegepant, an FDA-approved nasal spray for acute migraine treatment.
