What is Vydura used for?

Vydura is used for the acute treatment of migraines as well as to prevent future migraines with consistent use. 

 

How long does Vydura take to work?

Vydura usually starts to work within 2 hours and helps reduce migraine symptoms like lightheadedness, nausea, light and sound sensitivity. 

 

How does Vydura work in the body?

Vydura works by targeting the CGRP receptor (calcitonin gene-related peptide), a key player in the development of migraines. By stopping CGRP from attaching to its receptor, it helps lower inflammation and alleviate migraine-related pain.

 

Can Vydura be taken with other migraine medications?

It is considered safe to take most over-the-counter pain killers like ibuprofen and paracetamol. However, avoid taking any triptans within 48 hours of consuming Vydura.

You do not need food or water to consume Vydura.

FAQ - Vydura

Vydura is a CGRP receptor antagonist, not a vasoconstrictor like triptans. This makes it safer for people with cardiovascular conditions, offering an alternative for those who can't tolerate or are at risk from triptan use.

There is no need for water to take Vydura. The orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) simply dissolves when kept on the tongue.

For Migraine treatment, Vydura must be taken 1 each day while for preventive purposes, it must be taken one every other day. No more than 1 wafer should be taken in 24 hours.

No, combining Vydura with triptans within 24 hours is not recommended, as both target migraine pathways and could increase the risk of side effects.

Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, dry mouth, rash, sinus, throat, or airway infections. Serious allergic reactions are rare but can occur.

Vydura should not be taken by individuals who are allergic to rimegepant or any of its ingredients, have severe liver or kidney impairment or are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless advised by a healthcare professional.

If you're taking Vydura for prevention and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. Do not double up doses. If you take more than the recommended dose, seek medical attention immediately.

Yes, Vydura may be used in patients with common conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, but you should always inform your doctor about your full medical history to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you.

No, Vydura is not considered habit-forming or addictive. It does not contain opioids or any ingredients associated with dependence. However, overuse of any migraine medication should be avoided to prevent medication-overuse headaches.

Vydura is at present approved to be used by adults only. Its safety and effectiveness in patients under 18 years of age have not been established, so it should not be used in children or adolescents unless specifically prescribed by a specialist.
