Description
Aimovig is a prescription migraine headache medication used to help prevent monthly migraine days and stop them before they start. The active ingredient in this medication - Erenumab - works by blocking the CGRP (calcitonin gene-related) peptide so that it cannot attach to the receptor and starting the neural overexcitation that is behind a migraine headache. It is proven effective for monthly migraine relief, and for many sufferers this migraine injection is better for migraine prevention than other more standard medications.
