Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been dealing with migraines for the past five years, and my neurologist prescribed Ubrelvy. I am quite worried about my condition and would like more information. Can you please explain more about this medicine? What are the potential side effects of the medicine? Is there any trigger factors that I should be aware of? How long will the medicine take to work? Please guide.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for stopping by!

I am here to provide expert opinion on your medical issues.

Ubrogepants acutely treat migraines by blocking the activity of a key transmitter involved in migraine pathogenesis. It causes deactivation of the trigeminal ganglion, which provides pathways for migraine. There are not many side effects associated with it. In order to prevent migraine, avoiding triggering factors is the key. I suggest the following:

1. Try to notice the triggering factors, as every person is different. Try to recognize the events and conditions before migraine whenever it happens to understand the cause.

2. General causes may include stress, sleep deprivation, excessive light, noise, etc.

3. Try to avoid the above factors.

4. Proper sleep, diet, dark room, silence, etc., may help in decreasing your symptoms.

Avoiding the triggering factors will decrease your migraine episodes. Hoping for early recovery.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
