Mild side effects

Mild side effects of Ubrelvy can include:

This is a partial list of mild side effects from Ubrelvy. To learn about other mild side effects, talk with your doctor or pharmacist, or refer to Ubrelvy’s prescribing information.

Most of these side effects may go away within a few days or a couple of weeks. But if they become more severe or don’t go away, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Serious side effects

Serious side effects from Ubrelvy aren’t common, but they can occur. Call your doctor right away if you have serious side effects. Call 911 or your local emergency number if your symptoms feel life threatening or if you think you’re having a medical emergency.

Serious side effects of Ubrelvy can include:

ALLERGIC REACTION

For some people, Ubrelvy can cause an allergic reaction. In general, symptoms of an allergic reaction can be mild or serious, and can occur minutes, hours, or days after taking the drug.

Ways to manage

For mild allergic reaction symptoms, such as a mild rash, call your doctor right away. They may recommend treatments to help manage your symptoms. They’ll also let you know whether you should keep taking the medication.

For severe allergic reaction symptoms, such as swelling or difficulty breathing, call 911 or your local emergency number right away. These symptoms require immediate medical care because they can become life threatening. If you’ve had a serious allergic reaction to Ubrelvy, your doctor may recommend a different medication instead.

The Ubrelvy dosage your doctor prescribes will depend on several factors. These include:

  • your kidney function
  • your liver function
  • any other medications you take

The following dosing instructions describe dosages that are commonly used or recommended. However, be sure to take the dosage your doctor prescribes for you. Your doctor will determine the best dosage to fit your needs.

Note: Ubrelvy isn’t meant to be taken every day. You should only take it when you have a migraine attack. In addition, you should not take Ubrelvy to treat more than eight migraine attacks every month (30 days). It’s not known whether it’s safe to take the drug more often than this.

Drug forms and strengths

Ubrelvy comes as an oral tablet. It’s available in two strengths: 50 milligrams (mg) and 100 mg.

Dosage for migraine

The typical dosage of Ubrelvy is 50 mg or 100 mg. You should take a dose as soon as possible after migraine symptoms start.

As long as your doctor approves, you may take a second dose of Ubrelvy as needed. If your first dose doesn’t fully relieve your migraine symptoms or your symptoms come back, you may take a second dose. You should take the second dose at least 2 hours after the first dose.

It’s important to note that you should not take a second dose of Ubrelvy if you take certain other medications or if you’ve been drinking grapefruit juice. To read more about this, see the “Ubrelvy interactions” section.

The maximum dosage of Ubrelvy is 200 mg in 24 hours. You should not take Ubrelvy to treat more than eight migraine attacks per month (30 days).

Will I need to use this drug long term?

Ubrelvy is meant to be used long term, although you’ll only take it when you have a migraine attack. It’s not approved to prevent migraine attacks. If you and your doctor determine that Ubrelvy is safe and effective for you, you’ll take it only when you need it to treat migraine symptoms, including headache.

You should not take Ubrelvy to treat more than eight migraine attacks per month (30 days). And if you have migraine attacks more often than four times per month, talk with your doctor about ways to help prevent them.

Ubrelvy and triptans are drugs used for the immediate treatment of migraine symptoms. However, they’re not used to prevent migraine attacks. Here, we look at how Ubrelvy and triptans are alike and different.

What are triptans?

Triptans are a class of drugs. They are also called serotonin agonists. They work to narrow blood vessels in the brain, which can reduce migraine symptoms.

Triptans can come in several forms. These include tablets, nasal sprays, and injections. Examples of triptans include:

Ubrelvy isn’t a triptan. Instead, Ubrelvy belongs to a class of drugs called oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists. Oral CGRP antagonists are more commonly known as gepants.

To learn more about how Ubrelvy compares with Imitrex, see the “Ubrelvy vs. Imitrex” section.

How are Ubrelvy and triptans alike?

Gepants, such as Ubrelvy, and triptans both work to relieve migraine symptoms. Both types of drugs do this by:

  • narrowing blood vessels in the brain, and
  • reducing pain signals in the trigeminal nerve (the nerve that allows you to feel sensation in your head and face)

Ubrelvy hasn’t been directly compared with triptans in clinical trials. However, studies have found both Ubrelvy and triptans to be effective for relieving migraine symptoms. These symptoms included headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound.

How are Ubrelvy and triptans different?

Ubrelvy acts more precisely on the underlying cause of migraine symptoms than triptans do.

Specifically, Ubrelvy works to block the CGRP protein. This protein is found in high levels in the brain during a migraine attack. CGRP causes swelling and widening of blood vessels in the brain. It also increases pain signals in the trigeminal nerve. By blocking CGRP, Ubrelvy can reverse its effects and reduce migraine symptoms.

Ubrelvy and triptans can also cause different side effects.

For example, the most common side effect of triptans is vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels). This can cause mild symptoms, such as numbness, tingling sensations, or feeling hot or cold. It can also cause pain, pressure, or tightness that affects your chest, throat, neck, or jaw. Vasoconstriction can also lead to serious side effects, including a heart attack, very high blood pressure, or reduced blood flow to your intestines.

Ubrelvy, however, usually causes very few side effects, and it doesn’t cause vasoconstriction. The most common side effects of Ubrelvy are sleepiness and nausea. For this reason, Ubrelvy may be a good option for people who have bothersome or severe side effects from triptans. Ubrelvy may also be useful for people who can’t take triptans, such as people with heart disease or hemiplegic migraines.

If you have questions about how Ubrelvy compares with triptan treatment for migraine, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Ubrelvy and Nurtec ODT are both prescription drugs used for the immediate treatment of migraine attacks. For this purpose, either drug may be prescribed for adults who have migraine with or without aura.

Nurtec ODT is also approved for preventing episodic migraine in adults. Ubrelvy is not approved for other uses.

Ubrelvy’s active ingredient is ubrogepant, and Nurtec ODT’s is rimegepant. Both belong to the same drug class, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists. This means they have a similar mechanism of action. (“Mechanism of action” refers to how a drug works.)

Ubrelvy comes as an oral tablet. Nurtec ODT comes as an orally dissolving tablet (a tablet that dissolves under or on top of your tongue). For treating migraine symptoms, you take either drug only when you’re experiencing a migraine attack.

For more information about how Ubrelvy compares with Nurtec ODT, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Like Ubrelvy, Imitrex is approved for the immediate treatment of migraine that occurs with or without aura. Both drugs can be given to adults for this purpose.

Ubrelvy contains the active ingredient ubrogepant. Imitrex contains the active ingredient sumatriptan.

Ubrelvy belongs to a group of drugs called gepants, while Imitrex belongs to a group of drugs called triptans. (To read more about triptans and gepants, see the “Ubrelvy vs. triptans” section earlier in this article.)

Ubrelvy comes as an oral tablet. Imitrex used to come in several forms, but it’s currently available only as an oral tablet.

With both Ubrelvy and Imitrex, you should take a dose as soon as possible when migraine symptoms begin.

To learn more about the similarities and differences between these two drugs, see this Ubrelvy vs. Imitrex comparison. Your doctor or pharmacist can also tell you more about how these drugs compare.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves prescription drugs such as Ubrelvy to treat certain conditions. Ubrelvy may also be used off-label for other conditions. Off-label drug use means using a drug for a purpose other than what the FDA has approved it for.

Ubrelvy for migraine

Ubrelvy is FDA approved for the immediate treatment of migraine attacks in adults who have migraine with or without aura.

Migraine is a neurological condition, which means it affects the central nervous system and can cause severe headaches, which may last several hours or sometimes days. It may also cause nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Having any of these symptoms may be referred to as having a migraine attack or migraine episode.

Some people with migraine also have an aura before or during the headache. Auras typically cause sensory symptoms, such as tingling or buzzing sensations or changes to your vision. Vision changes may include seeing blind spots, flashing lights, or zig-zag lines. Some people also have difficulty speaking.

Ubrelvy is approved for the immediate treatment of migraine symptoms. It’s not approved to prevent migraine attacks.

You can learn more about Ubrelvy’s use for migraine in this Ubrelvy for migraine article. To find out more about migraine, see our headache and migraine hub.

Effectiveness for migraine

Clinical trials of Ubrelvy have found the drug to be safe and effective for the immediate treatment of migraine attacks. For details of these trials, see the Ubrelvy prescribing information.

Off-label use for Ubrelvy

In addition to the use listed earlier, Ubrelvy may also be used off-label for other conditions. Off-label drug use means using a drug for a purpose other than what the FDA has approved it for. The following is an example of an off-label use for Ubrelvy.

Ubrelvy for tension headache

Ubrelvy isn’t FDA approved to treat tension headache, and it’s unlikely to be prescribed for this use. At this time, the drug isn’t being studied as a potential treatment for tension headache.

The cause of tension headache isn’t fully understood. To treat migraine attacks, Ubrelvy works to block a protein in the brain, called CGRP, which may be involved in causing migraine symptoms. It’s not known whether this same protein is involved in causing tension headaches. (For details, see the “How Ubrelvy works” section.)

If you’re interested in taking Ubrelvy for tension headache, talk with your doctor.

Ubrelvy and children

Ubrelvy is not approved for use in children. It’s not known whether the drug may be safe or effective for treating migraine in children.

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about Ubrelvy.

Is Ubrelvy a controlled substance?

No. Ubrelvy is a prescription medication, but it isn’t a controlled substance.

Controlled substances are drugs that have a high potential for being misused, usually because they can make people feel “high.” Misuse refers to taking a drug in a way other than how a doctor prescribes it. Controlled substances also have a high risk of causing dependence. With dependence, your body needs the drug to function as usual.

Because of these risks, there are additional rules for how controlled substances are prescribed and dispensed. Some pain medications, such as opioids, are controlled substances. However, Ubrelvy doesn’t have these risks and doesn’t have additional rules for how it’s prescribed. If you have questions about this, talk with your doctor.

Does Ubrelvy have caffeine?

No, Ubrelvy does not contain caffeine. Some migraine medications do contain caffeine, such as Fioricet and Excedrin Migraine.

Some people find that caffeine can help reduce migraine symptoms, but for others caffeine can trigger migraine. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor if you have questions about caffeine and Ubrelvy.

Will Ubrelvy cure migraine?

No, Ubrelvy can’t cure migraine. The drug won’t prevent future migraine attacks, but it can relieve migraine symptoms.

There aren’t currently any treatments that can cure migraine. However, various treatments are available that may help prevent migraine attacks. If you have migraine attacks more than four times per month, talk with your doctor about ways to help prevent them.

Why should I keep track of migraine attacks when taking Ubrelvy?

It’s important to track your migraine symptoms and the times when you take Ubrelvy. This is because you should not take Ubrelvy to treat more than eight migraine attacks per month (30 days). And if you have more than four migraine attacks per month, you should talk with your doctor about potential ways to help prevent them.

Keeping track of your migraine symptoms can help you and your doctor see how well Ubrelvy works for you. You should note how often you have migraine attacks and what your symptoms are. You should also track how long your symptoms last, with or without Ubrelvy treatment. Also, you can record potential triggers of your migraine attacks. This can help you identify patterns in what might trigger them.

You can also note any Ubrelvy side effects you may be having. Your doctor may adjust your Ubrelvy dose based on some of the factors you have tracked if needed.

Ubrelvy is used for the immediate treatment of migraine attacks in adults who have migraine with or without aura.

What happens with migraine

During a migraine attack, levels of a protein called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) increase in your brain. CGRP is released from your trigeminal nerve. This is the nerve that allows you to feel sensations in your head and face.

CGRP has several effects that help produce the symptoms of migraine:

  • CGRP causes inflammation and vasodilation (widening) of blood vessels in your brain. This may be a main cause of migraine headache.
  • CGRP also increases pain signals in your brain, which can intensify a headache. This can also cause nausea and increased sensitivity to light and sound.

CGRP produces these effects by attaching to sites called CGRP receptors. These receptors are found on blood vessels and nerves in your brain.

What is Ubrelvy’s mechanism of action?

Ubrelvy is a type of drug called an oral CGRP antagonist. It works to block CGRP receptors in your brain. This prevents CGRP from producing its effects in the brain, which can help relieve migraine symptoms.

Ubrelvy may reduce headache, sensitivity to light and sound, and nausea. In some cases, it can quickly provide complete relief from migraine symptoms.

How long does it take to work? What is Ubrelvy’s half life?

Ubrelvy starts to work soon after you take it. Most people have relief from their migraine symptoms within 2 hours after taking a dose.

The effects of Ubrelvy can last for about 1 day to 1.5 days. This is because Ubrelvy has a half-life of about 5 to 7 hours. The half-life of a drug is how long it takes for the amount of drug in your body to reduce by half. It typically takes about five half-lives for a drug to no longer have any effect in your body.

If you have questions about what to expect from Ubrelvy treatment, talk with your doctor.

You should take Ubrelvy according to your doctor’s or a healthcare professional’s instructions.

When to take

You should take Ubrelvy as soon as possible after your migraine symptoms start.

As long as your doctor approves, you may take a second dose of Ubrelvy as needed. If your first dose doesn’t fully relieve your migraine symptoms, or your symptoms come back, you may take a second dose. You should take the second dose at least 2 hours after the first dose.

It’s important to note that you should not take a second dose of Ubrelvy if you take certain other medications or if you’ve been drinking grapefruit juice. To read more about this, see the “Ubrelvy interactions” section.

Taking Ubrelvy with food

Ubrelvy can be taken with or without food.

Can Ubrelvy be crushed, split, or chewed?

No. The manufacturer hasn’t done studies on whether it’s safe or effective to crush, split, or chew Ubrelvy. For this reason, you should swallow Ubrelvy whole.

If you have difficulty swallowing Ubrelvy tablets, talk with your doctor.

Other drugs are available that can be used for the immediate treatment of migraine. Some may be a better fit for you than others. If you’re interested in finding an alternative to Ubrelvy, talk with your doctor. They can tell you about other medications that may work well for you.

Note: Some of the drugs listed here are used off-label to treat migraine. Off-label drug use means using a drug for a purpose other than what the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved it for.

Alternatives for migraine

Examples of other drugs that may be used to treat symptoms of migraine that occur with or without aura include:

  • rimegepant (Nurtec ODT)
  • lasmiditan (Reyvow)
  • triptan medications, such as:
  • ergot drugs, such as:
    • dihydroergotamine (Migranal, Trudhesal)
    • ergotamine tartrate (Ergomar)
    • ergotamine/caffeine (Migergot)
  • anti-inflammatory medications, such as:
  • pain medications, such as:
    • acetaminophen/aspirin/caffeine (Excedrin Migraine)
    • acetaminophen (Tylenol)
    • butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine (Fioricet)
    • butalbital/aspirin/caffeine (Fiorinal)

Ubrelvy is not approved to prevent migraine attacks, but it may be used off-label for this purpose. Examples of other medications that may be used to prevent migraine attacks include:

Ubrelvy can interact with several other medications. It can also interact with certain supplements as well as certain foods.

Different interactions can cause different effects. For instance, some interactions can interfere with how well a drug works. Other interactions can increase side effects or make them more severe.

Ubrelvy and other medications

Here are examples of medications that can interact with Ubrelvy. This article does not contain all drugs that may interact with Ubrelvy.

Before taking Ubrelvy, talk with your doctor and pharmacist. Tell them about all prescription, over-the-counter, and other drugs you take. Also, tell them about any vitamins, herbs, and supplements you use. Sharing this information can help you avoid potential interactions.

If you have questions about drug interactions that may affect you, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Ubrelvy and CYP3A4 inhibitors

Ubrelvy is broken down by an enzyme in your liver called CYP3A4. (Enzymes are proteins that aid chemical changes in your body.) CYP3A4 inhibitor medications stop this enzyme from working as well as usual. So, taking Ubrelvy with this type of drug can cause Ubrelvy to build up in your body. And this can increase your risk of side effects from Ubrelvy.

CYP3A4 inhibitor drugs may be strong, moderate, or weak. This describes the drug’s effect on the CYP3A4 enzyme. Depending on the type of CYP3A4 inhibitor you take, you may or may not be able to take Ubrelvy.

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors

Ubrelvy should not be taken with medications that are strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Examples of these drugs include:

  • certain antibiotics, such as:
  • certain antifungals, such as:
    • ketoconazole
    • itraconazole (Sporanox, Tolsura)
    • posaconazole (Noxafil)
    • voriconazole (Vfend)
  • certain HIV drugs, such as:
    • atazanavir (Reyataz)
    • cobicistat (Tybost)
    • ritonavir (Norvir)
    • nelfinavir mesylate (Viracept)

If you take any of these medications, talk with your doctor about other migraine treatment options besides Ubrelvy.

Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors

With your doctor’s approval, Ubrelvy can be taken with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. However, a low Ubrelvy dose (50 mg) is typically prescribed in these cases.

If you take a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, you should not take a second dose of Ubrelvy within 24 hours of your first dose. This helps make sure that Ubrelvy doesn’t build up in your body while you’re taking both drugs.

Examples of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors that you may be able to take with a lowered Ubrelvy dose include:

Weak CYP3A4 inhibitors

With your doctor’s approval, Ubrelvy can be taken with weak CYP3A4 inhibitors. However, a low Ubrelvy dose (50 mg) is typically prescribed in these cases. This helps make sure that Ubrelvy doesn’t build up in your body while you’re taking both drugs.

Examples of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors that you may be able to take with a low Ubrelvy dose include:

  • cimetidine (Tagamet HB)
  • lomitapide (Juxtapid)
  • ticagrelor (Brilinta)
  • ranolazine

Note: If you take Ubrelvy and a weak CYP3A4 inhibitor, you can take a second dose of Ubrelvy as needed, as long as your doctor approves. Make sure to take the second dose at least 2 hours after your first dose. (See the “How to take Ubrelvy” section for details.)

Ubrelvy and CYP3A4 inducers

Ubrelvy is broken down in your liver by the CYP3A4 enzyme. CYP3A4 inducer medications increase the activity of this enzyme. So, taking Ubrelvy with this type of drug can cause Ubrelvy to break down faster in your body. And this can lower the amount of Ubrelvy in your body and make the drug less effective.

CYP3A4 inducer drugs may be strong, moderate, or weak. This describes the drug’s effect on the CYP3A4 enzyme. Depending on the type of CYP3A4 inducer you take, you may or may not be able to take Ubrelvy.

Strong CYP3A4 inducers

Ubrelvy is not usually recommended for use with strong CYP3A4 inducers. Examples of these drugs include:

If you take one of these medications, talk with your doctor about migraine treatment options other than Ubrelvy.

Moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducers

With your doctor’s approval, Ubrelvy can be taken with moderate and weak CYP3A4 inducers. However, a high Ubrelvy dose (100 mg) is typically prescribed in these cases. This helps make sure the drug doesn’t break down too quickly in your body.

Examples of moderate and weak CYP3A4 inducers that you may be able to take with a high dose of Ubrelvy include:

Ubrelvy and inhibitors of BCRP and P-gp

BCRP and P-gp are proteins that transport Ubrelvy in your body. Certain medications can stop these proteins from working, and this can increase the amount of Ubrelvy in your body. If you take one of these drugs with Ubrelvy, it can increase your risk of side effects from Ubrelvy.

Examples of drugs that inhibit BCRP, P-gp, or both include:

If you take an inhibitor of BCRP or P-gp, your doctor will typically prescribe a low dose (50 mg) of Ubrelvy.

Ubrelvy and ibuprofen

Ubrelvy doesn’t interact with ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). However, you should only take Ubrelvy with other drugs, including ibuprofen, if your doctor recommends it. In some cases, if Ubrelvy doesn’t relieve your migraine symptoms, your doctor may recommend taking ibuprofen or other pain medications.

Ubrelvy, herbs and supplements

Ubrelvy may interact with certain herbs and supplements.

Ubrelvy and St. John’s wort

Ubrelvy is broken down in your liver by the CYP3A4 enzyme. The herb St. John’s wort increases the activity of the CYP3A4 enzyme. So if you take Ubrelvy with St. John’s wort, Ubrelvy is broken down in your body faster than usual. This can lower the amount of Ubrelvy in your body and make the drug less effective.

If you take St. John’s wort, your doctor will likely not recommend Ubrelvy for you. Talk with your doctor about migraine treatment options other than Ubrelvy.

Ubrelvy and curcumin (turmeric)

Taking the herb curcumin with Ubrelvy can increase the amount of Ubrelvy in your body. (Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric.) This can increase your risk of side effects from Ubrelvy. So if you take curcumin, your doctor will typically prescribe a low dose (50 mg) of Ubrelvy for you.

Ubrelvy and foods

Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice with Ubrelvy can increase your risk of side effects from the drug.

This is because Ubrelvy is broken down in your liver by the CYP3A4 enzyme. Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4, meaning that it stops the enzyme from working as well as usual. If you take Ubrelvy with grapefruit, Ubrelvy can build up in your body. This can increase your risk of side effects from the drug.

If you eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice, your doctor will likely prescribe a different medication for you. And if you eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice, you should not take a second dose of Ubrelvy within 24 hours of taking your first dose.

Ubrelvy isn’t known to interact with alcohol. However, drinking alcohol with Ubrelvy can increase side effects from Ubrelvy, such as sleepiness and nausea. Drinking alcohol during a migraine episode can also make migraine symptoms worse.

In some cases, drinking alcohol can trigger a migraine episode. Drinking alcohol only in small amounts or avoiding alcohol completely may help prevent migraine attacks.

If you drink alcohol, talk with your doctor about whether alcohol could be a trigger for your migraine symptoms. Your doctor can recommend how much alcohol may be safe for you to drink while taking Ubrelvy.

This drug comes with several precautions. Before taking Ubrelvy, talk with your doctor about your health history. Ubrelvy may not be right for you if you have certain medical conditions or other factors affecting your health. These include:

Note: For more information about the potential negative effects of Ubrelvy, see the “Ubrelvy side effects” section.

It’s not known whether Ubrelvy is safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding. For more information, see this article about taking Ubrelvy during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you have questions, talk with your doctor.

Do not use more Ubrelvy than your doctor recommends. For some drugs, doing so may lead to unwanted side effects or overdose.

What to do in case you take too much Ubrelvy

If you think you’ve taken too much of this drug, call your doctor. You can also call America’s Poison Centers at 800-222-1222 or use its online tool. But if your symptoms are severe, call 911 or your local emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
