AIMOVIG
Aimovig (erenumab-aooe) is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist. It is indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adult patients. This medication serves as a prophylactic therapeutic option intended to manage the condition in adults who experience migraine.
How AIMOVIG Works
Erenumab-aooe is a human monoclonal antibody that targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor. The drug binds to this specific receptor to antagonize its function. By blocking the CGRP receptor, the medication inhibits the biological activity and signaling pathways associated with the CGRP protein.
