Emgality 120mg Injection

How Emgality Works

Emgality is a medication used in the treatment of migraine headaches in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors. Migraine headaches are believed to be caused by the dilation of blood vessels in the brain, which triggers inflammation and pain. CGRP is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in the transmission of pain signals during migraines. Emgality works by blocking the activity of CGRP, thereby reducing the inflammation and pain associated with migraines. By inhibiting CGRP, Emgality helps to prevent migraine attacks and alleviate their severity and duration.
