What is Nurtec?

Nurtec is an oral CGRP receptor antagonist — a newer class of migraine medication that works differently from traditional triptans. It's FDA-approved both to treat migraine attacks as they start and to prevent episodic migraines when taken every other day. By blocking CGRP, a protein heavily involved in triggering migraine pain and inflammation, Nurtec can reduce the severity and duration of attacks and, over time, reduce how often they happen. It comes as a small orally dissolving tablet — no water needed.

CGRP receptor blockade

Nurtec blocks the receptor for CGRP, a key molecule that drives migraine pain signaling, inflammation, and hypersensitivity to light and sound.

Acute and preventive action

Unlike most migraine medications that only treat attacks, Nurtec is clinically proven to both stop migraines in progress and reduce future attack frequency.

Fast-dissolving format

The orally dissolving tablet works even when nausea makes swallowing difficult — a meaningful advantage during active migraine attacks.
