Emgality

Emgality (galcanezumab-gnlm) is a monoclonal antibody used for the prevention of migraines in adults and for the treatment of episodic cluster headaches. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors. Emgality helps reduce the frequency of migraine attacks and cluster headaches by blocking the action of CGRP, a protein involved in the transmission of pain signals during migraine episodes.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Emgality Work?

Emgality works by blocking the activity of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a protein that plays a key role in the occurrence of migraines and cluster headaches. By inhibiting CGRP, Emgality reduces the inflammation and dilation of blood vessels that contribute to these severe headaches.
