Blocking the CGRP receptor has been shown to reduce pain and symptoms during a migraine attack and reduce migraine frequency6,7
One dose can inhibit three CGRP-induced effects by selectively binding to CGRP receptors8-11
MOA=mechanism of action; CGRP=calcitonin gene-related peptide; MOH=medication overuse headache

I can go about my life now without fearing that a migraine is around the corner.
