During migraine attacks, a nerve in the brain releases a protein called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). CGRP attaches to and activates receptors* in the brain and is believed to play a key role in migraine attacks.
Nurtec ODT works by blocking CGRP receptors.* This can help stop the pain signals, swelling of blood vessels, and inflammation that occur in the brain during a migraine.
*Receptors help cells communicate and bring about responses, such as pain.
