17
Q

MOA of sumatriptan:

A

Activation of 5HT1B/1D receptors

18
Q

Sumatriptan is available in these dosage forms:

A

19
Q

Drug intx w.sumatriptan:

20
Q

MOA of Lasmiditan:

A

Activation of 5HT1F receptors in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis blocks the release of CGRP and glutamate which prevents the development of central sensitization

A

true

23

A

THE MABS:

  • erenumab (prototype)
  • fremanezumab
  • galcanezumab
27
Q

MOA of ACGRPMA:

A

block CGRP receptors

OR

bind the CGRP ligand and inhibits its activity at receptor sites

28
Q

TorF: ACGRPMA can cross the BBB?

A

False, bc they are large molecules
