Treatment for preventing migraine attacks
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has for the first time recommended an oral treatment for preventing migraines. Rimegepant (also called Vydura and made by Pfizer) is recommended as an option for preventing episodic migraine in adults where at least three previous preventive treatments have failed. The final draft guidance recommends rimegepant for adults who have at least four migraine attacks per month but less than 15.
