Detailed Information

How it works

Qulipta is a type of medication called a CGRP receptor antagonist. It may work by blocking the activity of CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide), a protein involved in migraine attacks. By preventing this peptide’s activity, Qulipta may reduce the number of migraine days over time.

Clinical applications

According to the information provided by Drugs.com, Qulipta is used for preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. It is not intended for treating headaches once they begin, but rather to reduce how often migraines occur.

Safety and Effectiveness

Common side effects may include nausea, constipation, fatigue, and decreased appetite. Serious side effects are rare, but anyone experiencing symptoms like allergic reactions should seek medical help immediately, according to the Israeli Ministry of Health registration.
