Vydura

Vydura is a migraine treatment that can both prevent and relieve migraines. It comes in the form of thin tablets, known as oral lyophilisates, that are placed and dissolved under the tongue.

When used to treat migraines, they can provide full relief within two hours. When used to prevent them, they can increase the number of migraine-free days by up to 4 days per month.

They are available from 121doc as 75 mg dissolving tablets.

Vydura works by blocking a chemical in the brain called CGRP. This chemical is what causes migraine pain and inflammation in the brain. It does this through the active ingredient rimegepant.

When rimegepant is released into the blood, it attaches to the receptor for CGRP and prevents the chemical from binding to it. This can prevent migraine pain and other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light.

Clinical studies on Vydura have found it to be effective in both relieving and preventing migraines. Here’s what they found:

Relieving migraines

20% of patients taking Vydura were pain-free after 2 hours, compared to just 12% taking a placebo. Additionally, 36% of patients were relieved of other migraine symptoms, including nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

Preventing migraines

Patients taking Vydura to prevent migraines experienced roughly 4 more migraine-free days per month on average.

To be prescribed Vydura 75 mg, you must be over 18 years old and suffering from migraines. To be prescribed it to prevent migraines, you must also get 4 or more attacks per month.

Do not take Vydura if you are:

• allergic to rimegepant or any other ingredient in this medicine
• pregnant or breastfeeding

You should also ask a doctor before taking Vydura if you have kidney or liver problems, as treatment with this medicine may not be safe.

Vydara can cause some side effects in some people, although most are mild.

The most common side effect is nausea, which occurs in up to 1 in 10 people. It’s important to report any side effects you get to your doctor so they can offer guidance.

For a full list of Vydura’s side effects, see the patient information leaflet.

When taking Vydura 75 mg to relieve migraines, it usually works within 2 hours.

Here’s what to expect when you take your wafer:

• After 1-2 minutes: The tablet should dissolve completely under your tongue.
• After 1 hour: You may notice some improvement in migraine symptoms, like nausea, light sensitivity, and headache. Some people report complete relief from pain by this point.
• After 2 hours: Some people feel complete relief after this time, while for others it may take longer.

To treat a migraine headache, take Vydura as soon as you feel the first symptoms. Taking it sooner makes it more effective, and can shorten the amount of time you feel symptoms.

To prevent migraines, take one dose every other day. Taking it consistently supplies your body with a steady supply of rimegepant, providing around-the-clock protection.

Provided you have a prescription from a licensed doctor, Vydura is safe to take long-term for migraine prevention. Your doctor can recommend a personalised treatment plan in your consultation.

If you take Vydura to prevent migraines and you forget to take a dose, skip the missed one and take your next one at the usual time. Never take more than one tablet (75 mg) per day.
