Nurtec ODT NR 293 RUA.docx NR 293 Nurtec ODT (Rimegepant) Chamberlain College of Nursing NR 293 – Pharmacology Rimegepant (Nurtec ODT) is a medication that was first approved by the FDA o... n February 27, 2020, to be used as a treatment for acute migraines (National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2020). Rimegepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist (CGRP), which is also referred to as gepants. Nurtec is the first CGRP to come in an orally disintegrating tablet but has drug interactions with CYP3A4 inhibitors, CYP3A inducers, and transporters. Rimegepant offers migraine relief to an expanded population when compared to triptans. Triptans constrict the blood vessels, which leaves a possibility for coronary artery construction as well. Since Nurtec does not have these properties, patients with hypertension or other heart-related problems are not contraindicated in this medication (Lipton, et al., 2020). Nurtec should be avoided in pregnant, breastfeeding patients or plan on becoming pregnant, the elderly, and children as there have not been enough clinical trials to show how it affects these individuals (Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, 2020). Nurtec is contraindicated in patients with liver impairment, end-stage renal disease, and hypersensitivity to any drug components (Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, 2020).
