What is Zavzpret?
Zavzpret is a newly FDA approved nasal spray of Zavegepant, a CGRP receptor antagonist, and is for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. It is in the same class as Ubrelvy and Nurtec-both oral CGRP receptor antagonists. The dose is 1 spray of 10 mg in 1 nostril in 24 hours. It may work faster than the oral CGRP receptor antagonists, also known as gepants, since it is delivered nasally. Side-effects include bad taste and nausea. It is expected to be available in pharmacies by July 2023.

Results from clinical trials show high efficacy rates with Qulipta. Qulipta blocks the activity of CGRP as do the injectables. We have many patients who have switched to Qulipta and are doing as well or better than the injectable CGRP mAB’s. To see if Qulipta may be a good option for you, please set up an appointment with one of our providers.

During this time the office will remain physically closed. We are completely operational for virtual visits, prescription refills, email correspondence, filling out forms, and answering questions you may have. Becky, our wonderful receptionist, will retrieve messages and return calls.
