Description
Ajovy is a once-monthly self-injection that is used to treat migraines with or without aura (a warning sign, such as flashing lights, wavy lines, or spots). By taking Ajovy, you can reduce the number of migraine-free days each month, allowing you to reclaim your time with friends and family. Ajovy (which contains the active ingredient Erenumab) blocks calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors.
Your body has both CGRP and CGRP receptors. Doctors have found that CGRP attaches to a receptor and triggers migraine attacks. Ajovy works to block these receptors so the CGRP cannot attach to them. As a result, you may experience fewer migraines throughout the month.
