Significantly increased serum concentrations with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. clarithromycin, itraconazole, ritonavir). Potential increase in exposure with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole). Significantly decreased serum concentrations with strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, phenobarbital) or moderate CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. bosentan, efavirenz, modafinil). Increased plasma concentration with BCRP or P-gp inhibitors (e.g. amiodarone, ciclosporin, lapatinib, quinidine, ranolazine, verapamil).

Decreased serum concentrations with St. John’s wort.

Description:
Mechanism of Action: Rimegepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist. It selectively binds with high affinity to the CGRP receptor and subsequently inhibits the activity of CGRP, a pain-signalling neuropeptide and a potent vasodilator involved in the pathophysiology of migraine.
Onset: Migraine: Treatment: ≤2 hours. Prevention: ≤4 weeks.
Duration: Migraine: Treatment: Up to 48 hours.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: Food, specifically high- or low-fat meal, reduces rate and extent of absorption. Absolute bioavailability: Approx 64%. Time to peak plasma concentration: 1.5 hours; 1 hour delayed following a high-fat meal.
Distribution: Enters breast milk. Plasma protein binding: Approx 96%.
Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver mainly by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 (lesser extent).
Excretion: Via urine (51% as unchanged drug); faeces (42% as unchanged drug). Elimination half-life: Approx 11 hours.
