What does it do?

Atozepant dihydrate is a neuromodulatory analgesic agent developed for the prevention of migraines. It works by blocking calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors to reduce the frequency of migraine occurrences. It is mainly prescribed for patients with chronic or recurrent migraines.

Atozepant dihydrate blocks the action of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neurotransmitter responsible for triggering migraines in the brain. This reduces vascular dilation and inflammatory responses, thereby preventing the occurrence of migraines. In other words, it alleviates symptoms by blocking the causative signals of migraines.
