              Pregnancy

              Data are not available regarding the developmental risk associated with use in pregnant women

              Pregnancy exposure registry

              • Monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to drug during pregnancy
              • For more information, contact: 1-877-366-0324, email nurtecpregnancyregistry@ppd.com, or visit nurtecpregnancyregistry.com

              Clinical considerations

              • Data suggest that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy

              Animal data

              • Oral administration during organogenesis resulted in adverse effects on development in rats (decreased fetal body weight and increased incidence of fetal variations) at exposures greater than those used clinically, and which were associated with maternal toxicity

              Lactation

              Results from a lactation study established a relative infant dose (<1% of maternal weight-adjusted dose) and milk-to-plasma ratio was 0.2

              There are no data on effects of rimegepant on breastfed infants or on milk production

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.

              Administration

              Oral Administration

              Use dry hands when opening blister pack

              Peel back foil covering of 1 blister and gently remove the orally disintegrating tablet (ODT); do not push the ODT through the foil

              As soon as the blister is opened, remove ODT and place on the tongue; alternatively, the ODT may be placed under the tongue

              ODT disintegrates in saliva so that it can be swallowed without additional liquid

              Take the ODT immediately after opening the blister pack; do not store ODT outside the blister pack for future use

              Storage

              Store at 20-25ºC (68-77ºF); excursions permitted to 15-30ºC (59-86ºF)
