Day 1
When you receive an infusion, the eptinezumab-jjmr will absorb into your bloodstream and start working to prevent migraine attacks. If you’re experiencing migraine pain, “You could start feeling better as soon as the next day after treatment,” says Dr. Dougherty.
Week 1
You may already notice a difference in how many migraine attacks you’re having. In clinical trials, the number of people who experienced a migraine attack on any given day in the week following their first infusion was reduced by 50 percent.
Month 3
By now, you should be having fewer episodes of migraine. According to studies, people who received eptinezumab-jjmr for chronic migraine experienced an average of 23 fewer migraine days over the course of three months, and people with episodic migraine had an average of 12 fewer.
Months 4 to 6
After three months, you’ll receive a second dose. If the medication is effective for you, you should be experiencing significantly fewer migraine attacks. Between weeks 13 and 24 in clinical trials, approximately 40 percent of people taking a 100 mg dose and 43 percent taking 300 mg had 75 percent fewer days with migraine attacks.
Month 7 (And Every 3 Months After)
Since infusions are given every 3 months, you’ll receive the next treatment around week 25.
