A DIFFERENT KIND OF MIGRAINE TREATMENT
REYVOW (lasmiditan) is the first and only FDA-approved ditan—a high-affinity 5-HT1F receptor agonist1
- REYVOW presumably exerts its therapeutic effects by activating the 5-HT1F receptor; however, the exact mechanism of action is unknown.1
5-HT1F receptors, involved in modulating pain signaling, are present in both the peripheral and central pain pathways.2,3 Based on the location of 5-HT1F receptors, REYVOW is believed to act both centrally and peripherally.3
REYVOW is a Selective 5-HT1F Receptor Agonist1
REYVOW is not a triptan. In preclinical studies, REYVOW was shown to have more than 440-fold greater selectivity for the 5-HT1F receptor than for the 5-HT1B and the 5-HT1D receptors.1,4
Activation of 5-HT1F receptors has been observed in preclinical studies to:2,5,6
Inhibit pain pathways, including the trigeminal nerve
Inhibit the release of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides
Not cause vasoconstriction of blood vessels
SELECT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Medication Overuse Headache
Overuse of acute migraine drugs may lead to exacerbation of headache (i.e., medication overuse headache). Medication overuse headache may present as migraine-like daily headaches or as a marked increase in frequency of migraine attacks. Detoxification of patients including withdrawal of the overused drugs and treatment of withdrawal symptoms (which often includes a transient worsening of headache) may be necessary.

We see a woman in pain. The brain is beginning to fade in. The camera will pan around to show a side view.
Voiceover: Migraine is a debilitating neurological disease.1-4
We show the woman and her brain and nervous system anatomy. As we talk about the path of pain, the anatomy will be highlighted.
On-Screen Text: Trigeminovascular pain pathway Labels: Meninges, Trigeminal ganglion, Trigeminal nerve, Thalamus, Brain stem nuclei, eg, trigeminal nucleus caudalis
Voiceover: Migraine involves the trigeminovascular pain pathway, which consists of peripheral nerve endings that send signals from the meninges covering the brain to the trigeminal ganglion; the signal then continues on to the central nervous system brain stem nuclei.1,5,6
We see a neuron signaling above a blood vessel, which is pulsing to indicate inflammation.
On-Screen Text: Neurogenic inflammation Labels: Neuron, 5-HT1F receptor, Blood vessel
Voiceover: Nerve activity leading to the release of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters is thought to exacerbate neurogenic inflammation and nociceptor pain signaling in migraine.1,5,7
In the neuronal environment we see synapses and neuropeptide release. We see nerve endings with 5-HT1F receptors. There is a lot of signaling activity in the background.
On-Screen Text: Nociceptor pain signaling Labels: Neuron, 5-HT1F receptor, Neurotransmitters
Voiceover: Serotonin (5-HT) 1F receptors may play a role in migraine.5,8 5-HT1F receptors are involved in modulating pain signaling and are present on both peripheral and central pain pathways.7,9
We see the woman’s anatomy. The 5-HT1F receptor lights up when activated and stops the pulse from going further down the nerve. Also the background signaling is reduced when agonist binds to the 5-HT1F receptor.
On-Screen Text:
- Inhibiting neurotransmitter and neuropeptide release
- Thereby inhibiting their local activity and downstream neuronal signaling
Labels: Serotonin, 5-HT1F receptor
Voiceover: Preclinical studies have shown that activation of 5-HT1F receptors inhibits the release of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, inhibits pain pathways, including the trigeminal nerve, and does not cause vasoconstriction of blood vessels.5,7,10

INDICATION AND USAGE
REYVOW is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.
Limitations of Use: REYVOW is not indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Driving Impairment
REYVOW may cause significant driving impairment. In a driving study, administration of single 50 mg, 100 mg, or 200 mg doses of REYVOW significantly impaired subjects' ability to drive. Additionally, more sleepiness was reported at 8 hours following a single dose of REYVOW compared to placebo. Advise patients not to engage in potentially hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness, such as driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery, for at least 8 hours after each dose of REYVOW. Patients who cannot follow this advice should not take REYVOW. Prescribers and patients should be aware that patients may not be able to assess their own driving competence and the degree of impairment caused by REYVOW.
Central Nervous System Depression
REYVOW may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression, including dizziness and sedation. Because of the potential for REYVOW to cause sedation, other cognitive and/or neuropsychiatric adverse reactions, and driving impairment, REYVOW should be used with caution if used in combination with alcohol or other CNS depressants. Patients should be warned against driving and other activities requiring complete mental alertness for at least 8 hours after REYVOW is taken.
Serotonin Syndrome
In clinical trials, reactions consistent with serotonin syndrome were reported in patients treated with REYVOW who were not taking any other drugs associated with serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome may also occur with REYVOW during coadministration with serotonergic drugs. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular signs, and/or gastrointestinal signs and symptoms. The onset of symptoms usually occurs within minutes to hours of receiving a new or a greater dose of a serotonergic medication. Discontinue REYVOW if serotonin syndrome is suspected.
Medication Overuse Headache
Overuse of acute migraine drugs may lead to exacerbation of headache. Medication overuse headache may present as migraine-like daily headaches or as a marked increase in frequency of migraine attacks. Detoxification of patients including withdrawal of the overused drugs and treatment of withdrawal symptoms (which often includes a transient worsening of headache) may be necessary.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions associated with REYVOW (≥2% and greater than placebo in clinical studies) were dizziness, fatigue, paresthesia, sedation, nausea and/or vomiting, and muscle weakness.
ABUSE
REYVOW contains lasmiditan, a Schedule V controlled substance (C-V). REYVOW has abuse potential. Evaluate patients for risk of drug abuse and observe them for signs of lasmiditan misuse or abuse.
