Vyepti can work as quickly as the first day or week after your first intravenous (IV) infusion to help prevent your migraine headache pain.

Vyepti (eptinezumab) is given as a 30 minute intravenous (IV) infusion at a clinic every 3 months (4 times per year). It is not used to treat migraine headaches that have already started. Once the infusion is done, most people can go back to their normal daily activities.

The recommended dose is 100 mg IV given every 3 months; some patients may benefit from a dose of 300 mg.

This is not all the information you need to know about Vyepti (eptinezumab) for safe and effective use and does not take the place of your doctor’s directions. Review the full Vyepti information and discuss this information and any questions you have with your doctor or other health care provider.
