Vydura

Summary

Vydura is a modern migraine treatment designed for those who want fast and targeted relief. It contains the active ingredient rimegepant which can provide relief in as little as one hour in some patients. It comes as a wafer that dissolves on or under your tongue - making it practical even during a migraine attack.

Why patients choose Vydura:

• Fast onset of action: Vydura begins to work within a few hours, helping to reduce migraine pain and associated symptoms.
• Targeted formulation: as a CGRP receptor antagonist, it addresses one of the key biological drivers in migraine, rather than acting like a painkiller.
• Ease of use: Vydura simply melts on or under the tongue

This prescription only treatment should only be purchased from legitimate and registered providers, such as us, here at Quick Meds.

What is Vydura and how does it work

Vydura is a newly developed treatment for migraine which not only provides fast and effective relief, but can also be taken regularly as a preventative treatment.

Vydura contains the active ingredient rimegepant which belongs to a group of medicines known as CGRP receptor antagonists. CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) is released by the nerves when a migraine attack occurs. CGRP is involved in carrying the pain signals that contribute to your migraine symptoms. It also plays a part in widening your blood vessels and triggering inflammation. The active ingredient in Vydura, rimegepant, attaches to the CGRP target and blocks CGRP from binding to them. This helps to treat migraines and prevent them from occurring.

Active Ingredient	Rimegepant
Onset Time	60-90 minutes

How to take it

Vydura is an oral lyophilisate, this is a wafer-like tablet which can be dissolved in the mouth. This can be taken with or without food and you won’t need a glass of water to swallow it.

Ensure your hands are dry when removing the Vydura from its foil blister. Peel back the foil and gently remove the oral lyophilisate. Do not push the oral lyophilisate through the foil.

Treatment of acute migraine

• One 75mg oral lyophilisate should be placed on or under the tongue until it dissolves completely. This can be taken daily if necessary but a maximum of one should be taken in any 24-hour period.

Prevention of migraine

• One 75mg oral lyophilisate should be placed on or under the tongue until it dissolves completely. One should be taken every other day.
