Important information about Qulipta
How does Qulipta work?
The active ingredient in Qulipta is atogepant. Atogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide or CGRP receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the CGRP chemical from producing pain and inflammation.
Qulipta belongs to the same drug class as another medication known as Ubrelvy. But unlike Ubrelvy, Qulipta has approval for use in preventing migraine attacks from happening in the first place. As a result, it can provide long-lasting symptom relief for those who experience chronic migraines. Studies looking at the effect of Qulipta in those with migraine headaches found a decrease in their monthly migraine days and acute headache medication use days (such as Tylenol and Triptans) from baseline over a 12-week period.
If desired, Qulipta may also be used for the preventative treatment of episodic migraines or those that occur infrequently.
How do you use Qulipta?
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Qulipta.

- Typically, Qulipta is taken once a day with or without food.
