Episode 579: Oral Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide Antagonists: A painfully long name for the acute treatment of migraines

In episode 579, Mike and James invite Nicholas Dugré back to the podcast to talk about the evidence around the benefits and harms of a new class of medications for the acute treatment of episodic migraines. Ubrogepant is an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist. In this case, amazing as it may sound, there are triple the number of systematic reviews than there are RCTs. Nonetheless, we go over all the evidence and at the end of the podcast you’ll know what the world knows about these agents.
