The influence of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics on the antimigraine efficacy and safety of novel anti-CGRPergic pharmacotherapies: a narrative review.

Authors

González-Hernández A, Villalón CM

Abstract

Migraine is a complex disorder, and its etiology is not yet fully understood. In the last 40 years, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been central to the understanding of migraine pathophysiology, leading to the development of new molecules targeting the CGRPergic system. These new molecules, such as gepants and monoclonal antibodies, are effective, well-tolerated, and safe, and are approved for clinical use.
