Brekiya, a ready-to-use dihydroergotamine (DHE) autoinjector, is now available for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and cluster headaches in adults.
Brekiya is supplied as a 1mL prefilled single-dose autoinjector containing 1mg/mL of DHE, an ergotamine derivative, which works by agonist effects at 5-HT1D receptors in patients with migraine.
As the first and only self-administered, ready-to-use DHE autoinjector, Brekiya offers patients the ability to treat debilitating attacks in a convenient way and avoid visits to the emergency room.
Brekiya does not require refrigeration, assembly, or priming of the device, making it a convenient treatment option.
Author summary: Brekiya is a new treatment for migraines and cluster headaches.
