Rimegepant and atogepant are exciting medications that demonstrate significant clinical innovation within the field of migraine therapy. While current indications are clear, data is lacking regarding the future expanded roles of these medications. Current areas of potential therapeutic innovation for rimegepant and atogepant include the pediatric population, in pregnancy and breastfeeding, in cluster headache and post-traumatic headache, and in patients that previously discontinued calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy.
