In June of 2015, a new drug was introduced to the market that is geared towards putting a stop to a migraine attack before it occurs. This drug is made so that it attacks CGRP – calcitonin gene-related peptide – a neurotransmitter that our body produces to carry messages to and from the brain and body. Research has revealed that elevated levels of CGRP can be a contributing factor in the development of migraines. It is believed that by the medicine attacking the CGRP, migraines episodes may be cut in half.
