Nurtec ODT works by blocking the CGRP receptor, preventing the action of CGRP, which is released during a migraine attack. By inhibiting this pathway, Nurtec helps to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine episodes.

Common Dosages

  • Orally Disintegrating Tablets: Each tablet contains 75 mg of rimegepant.

Typical Dosing

  • For acute treatment: The recommended dose is 75 mg taken orally as needed for migraine attacks. A second dose may be taken if the migraine returns after 2 hours, but do not exceed 75 mg in 24 hours.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Acute Treatment of Migraine: for the treatment of migraine attacks in adults.
  • Preventive Treatment of Episodic Migraine: to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.
