The FDA approved a new nasal spray as a rapid treatment for migraine pain in adults.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new nasal spray as a rapid treatment for migraine pain in adults.
There are already a number of different types of medications available to treat migraines, including several kinds of nasal sprays. Zavzpret is the first to work by blocking the calcitonin gene-related peptide, CGRP, a protein that is released in the brain that contributes to inflammation. Several pills block CGRP, but many people with migraines experience significant nausea and can't tolerate medications they have to swallow.
