A question for the person who prescribed them to you I suspect. As you know posters on here are sufferers not medics.

According to the migraine specialist neurologist I asked they are all ‘CGRP monoclonal antibodies’. She just lumps them together as one group classification. She gave no indication that she would choose one over another for any particular individual it that’s not to say she wouldn’t.

The rescue drug Ubrelvy is a CGRP receptor antagonist as opposed to the others which are monoclonal antibodies.
