Spotlight on Migraine - Episode 16 - The New CGRP Blocking Migraine Treatments

Neurologist Dr. Stewart Tepper explains how the new, "designer" CGRP blocking migraine treatments work, how they are delivered and what to expect for efficacy. These medications come in two different types - gepants and monoclonal antibodies. Dr. Tepper's presentation was recorded in June 2018, after the first of these medications became available to patients in the U.S. If you support improved access to the best and safest treatments, let your voice be heard.
