What is Vyepti?
Vyepti (eptinezumab-jjmr) is an intravenous monoclonal antibody approved for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. It is administered every 3 months as a 30-minute infusion. The recommended starting dose is 100 mg, though some patients may require 300 mg.
The most common side effects are nasopharyngitis (cold-like symptoms) and hypersensitivity reactions. Vyepti is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity to eptinezumab or any of its components.
How Does Vyepti Work?
Vyepti helps prevent migraines by blocking a brain protein called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is linked to migraine pain. Normally, CGRP binds to receptors in the brain, causing migraines.
Vyepti, an antibody, binds to CGRP, preventing it from attaching to receptors. In clinical studies, over 60% of individuals treated with Vyepti experienced a 50% reduction in migraine symptoms within three months.
