95. Guide to CGRP Medications For Treating Migraine Disorder


Listen Later

Today on Grounded: The Vestibular Podcast, we are talking all about CGRP medications. These are a class of drugs used to manage migraine attacks.

Interestingly, people with migraine have a higher level of CGRP during migraine attacks, but also have a harder time breaking them down for whatever reason.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

  • What CGRP medications are
  • How CGRP medications work
  • Generic names of CGRP medications
  • How effective CGRPs are
  • How CGRPs interact with Botox
  • Will insurance cover CGRP medications
  • What step therapy is and how to navigate it
  • If a multi-pronged approach is still worth it
  • Whether you’re newly diagnosed, still searching for answers, or supporting someone with VM, this episode was created as a resource for you.

    Tune in and discover if we’re fans of CGRPs over here… or not—and everything you need to know about these medications.
