Description
What is Vydura (rimegepant)?
Vydura is a migraine medication, which can be used to treat an oncoming migraine or prevent migraines, if you get them often.
It comes in the form of a small wafer you place underneath your tongue.
How does Vydura work?
Vydura contains the active ingredient rimegepant. Rimegepant works by blocking the function of CGRP, a pain-signalling chemical which plays a role in triggering migraines.
You can either take the treatment when you feel a migraine coming on, to stop it getting worse/relieve symptoms. Or if you get migraines often, you can use the treatment every other day as a preventative measure.

A study looking at rimegepant to treat migraines found that after taking the medication:
- 59% of people experienced pain relief within two hours
- 21% of people were pain free within two hours
- 35% of people were free of their ‘most bothersome symptom’ within two hours
- 42% of people had continued pain relief between two and 48 hours after the first dose
- 86% of people needed no other pain relief in the first 24 hours
A different study looking at rimegepant as a migraine prevention treatment found that:
- People had on average 4.3 fewer monthly migraine days (MMDs)
- People had a 50% reduction in their MMDs
How to Buy and take Vydura online
If you’re taking Vydura to treat a migraine, you simply place one wafer below the tongue and let it dissolve. You don’t need to take it with food or drink. If you need, you can take another Vydura after 24 hours have passed since the first dose.
If you’re taking Vydura as a preventative treatment, you can take one wafer every other day to prevent the onset of migraine symptoms.
You should never take more than one Vydura wafer within 24 hours.
