Nurtec ODT Tablet

Nurtec ODT Tablet ( Rimegepant ) represents a significant leap in headache medicine. Because it does not cause vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels), it is a safer alternative for patients who cannot take triptans due to cardiovascular concerns.

Key Clinical Benefits

• Dual-Purpose Power: One tablet can be used to treat an acute attack (as needed) or taken every other day to prevent migraines from occurring.

• Fast-Acting ODT: Dissolves in seconds on or under the tongue. No water required, making it perfect for use while traveling or during nausea.

• Long-Lasting Relief: A single 75 mg dose can provide up to 48 hours of pain freedom for many patients.

• Clear-Headed Recovery: Does not cause the “triptan sensation” (heaviness or chest tightness) or rebound headaches (medication overuse headaches).

Administration & Safety Protocols

1. For Acute Treatment: Take one 75 mg tablet as soon as you feel a migraine starting. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.

2. For Prevention: Take one 75 mg tablet every other day.

3. No Water Needed: With dry hands, peel back the foil and place the tablet on the tongue. Let it dissolve and swallow with saliva.

4. Maximum Dose: The maximum dose in a 30-day period is 15 tablets (18 tablets if used for prevention).

5. Storage: Keep in the original blister pack until ready to use. Store at room temperature away from moisture.
