This small article was in our local news yesterday. There was no other links or info:

An experimental drug is showing promise in the treatment of migraines.

Nearly 17-hundred patients were involved in the phase 3 study.

Among those who were given the drug Ubrogepant, nearly 22% were free of migraine pain symptoms two hours later.

That is compared to the 14% who were on the placebo.

An FDA decision on approval is expected next month.

Useful info, thank you 😊

Thanks for the info. I'm always looking for ways to ease migraines. I wonder if it treats the nausea too?
