Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 33-year-old woman who has been dealing with migraine for the past decade. Recently, I have noticed the addition of aura to my migraine symptoms, and I have started experiencing vomiting as well. Despite various treatments without success, my doctor has recommended Ubrogepant for me. I am interested in understanding if Ubrelvy is effective for treating migraines with aura and if there are any specific factors or potential side effects, I should be aware of before beginning this medication.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to the icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Ubrelvy (Ubrogepant) is approved for treating both acute migraine with and without aura in adults, making it a suitable option for you, especially considering your recent experience with migraine aura. Clinical studies have shown Ubrelvy's efficacy in relieving migraine pain and associated symptoms, including nausea and vomiting. However, individual responses may vary.

Before initiating Ubrelvy, a detailed medical history is important. This should include information about allergies, current medications, and any existing health conditions, as Ubrelvy may not be suitable for everyone. Additionally, transparency about pregnancy status, potential pregnancy plans, or breastfeeding is paramount, given the limited data on Ubrelvy's safety in these situations.

The most common side effects reported with Ubrelvy include nausea, fatigue, drowsiness, and dry mouth, which are typically mild and transient. Less frequent side effects include dizziness, constipation, sleep disturbances, and muscle pain. I would suggest you report any new or concerning side effects to your nearest doctor for appropriate evaluation and management.

If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask them.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
