Treatment for Cluster Headache

Zavegepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist used for acute treatment of cluster headaches. By blocking CGRP receptors, it inhibits the vasodilatory and inflammatory effects of CGRP, thereby reducing pain and associated symptoms in cluster headache episodes. Its targeted mechanism provides rapid relief with potentially fewer systemic side effects compared to traditional treatments.
