CNS EXAM 1
| CLASS | DRUG | MOA(s) | USE(s) | ADR(s) | NOTES |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NSAIDS | Ibuprofen (OTC), Naproxen (OTC), Diclofenac, Aspirin (OTC) | COX 1/2 inhibitions (aspirin and naproxen more cox 1) (diclofenac more cox 2) | acute migraines | GI (cox 1) and CV (cox 2) | goof for tension headaches and mild to moderate migraines |
| Triptans (5-HT agonists) | Almotriptan, Naratriptan, Eletriptan, Frovatriptan | Partial, Selective 5HT-1B/1D agonist | decrease acute migraine pain via vasoconstriction, decrease CGRP release, postpartum bleeding (ergots) | paresthesia (skin sensations), dizziness, coronary vasoconstriction, serotonis syndrome from combined used of triptans and ergots, MAOIs, SSRIs, SNRIs | |
| Triptans (5-HT agonists) | Rizatriptan, Sumatriptan, Zolmitriptan | Partial, Selective 5HT-1B/1D agonist | decrease acute migraine pain via vasoconstriction, decrease CGRP release, postpartum bleeding (ergots) | paresthesia (skin sensations), dizziness, coronary vasoconstriction, serotonis syndrome from combined used of triptans and ergots, MAOIs, SSRIs, SNRIs | caution use in CV disease, CI in ischemic heart disease and coronary artery vasospasm, increase in preterm births, sumatriptan available with naproxen |
| Ergotamines (5-HT agonists) | Ergotamine tartrate, Dihydroergotamine | Nonselective, 5-HT receptor partial agonists Alpha-adrenergic receptor agonists | decrease acute migraine pain via vasoconstriction, decrease CGRP release, postpartum bleeding (ergots) | N/V, vasospasm, rebound headache with over use, hepatotoxicity, ergot toxicity (seizures, fingertip necrosis) | ergots can block DA/adrenergic receptors, CI in pregnacy, serotonin syndrome |
| Ditans (5-HT agonsits) | Lasmiditan | Selective 5HT-1F agonist | acute migraine pain, trigeminal activation without vasoconstriction | dizziness, vertigo, nausea, paresthesia | fewer adverse effects (no vasoconstriction) compared to triptans |
| Neurotoxin | Onabotlinumtoxin A | SNARE protein cleavage Inhibits vesicular release (ACh, CGRP) | Migraine prophylaxis Muscle spasms Cosmetic, skin rejuvenation | muscle weakness, flaccid paralysis, death | Respiratory tract infections, muscle weakness, urinary incontinence, falls, fever |
| CGRP Receptor antibodies | Erenumab | Monoclonal antibodies for CGRP receptor Reversible | Migraine prophylaxis | Nausea, diarrhea, antibody development, hypersensitivity | Rapid association , Slow dissociation, long t1/2 Avoid with other monoclonal antibodies |
| CGRP ligand antibodies | Fremanezumab, Eptinezumab-jjmr, Galcanezumab | Monoclonal antibodies for CGRP ligand | Migraine prophylaxis | Nausea, diarrhea, antibody development, hypersensitivity | Cluster headaches (galcanezumab), Avoid with other monoclonal antibodies |
| CGRP antagonists | Atogepant | Small molecule CGRP receptor blockers | Migraine prophylaxis | ||
| CGRP antagonists | Rimegepant, Ubrogepant, Zavegepant (nasal) | Competitive reversible blockade of CGRP receptor | Acute migraines (rimegepant and ubrogepant are also prophylactic) | nausea, skin rash, hypersensitivity | shorter half life than mAbs |
| DA receptor antagonist | Metoclopramide | Dopamine-2 (D2) receptor antagonist | Adjunct therapy to increase triptans/NSAIDs oral absorption, antinausea, GERD | drowsiness, fatigue, restlessness, insomnia, anxiety, hyperrolactinemia, dyskinesias | BOXED WARNING: tardive dyskinesia |
| Mild narcotic | Butorphanol | Mixed opioid, MOR partial agonist/KOR agonist | analgesia | constipation, sedation, abuse | |
| Beta blockers | Metoprolol, propranolol, timolol | Nonselective β-AR antagonists Blocks β2 induced-vasodilation | Vasoconstriction Antihypertensive | migraine prophylaxis | |
| Tricyclic antidepressants | Amitriptyline | Blocks NET/SERT reuptake ↑ [NE/5HT] | Analgesia Antidepressant | migraine prophylaxis | |
| Calcium channel blockers | Verapamil | Inhibits slow voltage Ca2+ channels | Anti-inflammatory Antihypertensive | migraine prophylaxis | |
| Anticonvulsants | Valproate, topiramate | Na+ channel inactivation & other mechanisms | Anti-inflammatory Anticonvulsants | migraine prophylaxis , valproate is CI in pregnancy |
