Qulipta (Atogepant)

Qulipta (Atogepant) is a prescription medication specifically designed to prevent episodic migraines in adults. It belongs to a class of medications known as CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) receptor antagonists, which work by blocking specific proteins in the brain associated with migraine triggers. Taken as an oral tablet once daily, Qulipta offers a preventive approach for those experiencing frequent migraine attacks, helping to reduce the number and severity of migraine days.

How to Use Qulipta (Atogepant)?

  • Take as Prescribed: Follow your healthcare provider’s dosage instructions precisely, typically a once-daily tablet.
