Treats acute migraine with or without aura in adults
Tablet
By mouth
Ubrelvy is used in adults for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura. Before a migraine attack, some people have an aura, which may include visual and/or sensory disturbances like seeing zigzag lines or flashing lights—or feeling dizzy and experiencing ringing in the ears.
Ubrelvy is not used to prevent migraine, and it is not FDA-approved for use in children.
Ubrelvy contains the active ingredient ubrogepant. It is used to treat migraine with or without aura in adult patients. It does not prevent migraine headaches. Ubrelvy is part of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist group of drugs.
Before taking Ubrelvy, be sure to tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions and all the medications you take, including Rx and OTC drugs, vitamins, and supplements. Some medications—as well as grapefruit juice—interact with Ubrelvy.
Take Ubrelvy exactly as directed. Do not take more than prescribed. If you feel like the dose is not working, consult your healthcare professional for medical advice.
The most common side effects of Ubrelvy include drowsiness, dry mouth, and nausea. If you have symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as hives, trouble breathing, or swelling, stop taking Ubrelvy and get emergency medical help.
