How AIMOVIG Works

Erenumab-aooe is a human monoclonal antibody that targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor. The drug binds to this specific receptor to antagonize its function. By blocking the CGRP receptor, the medication inhibits the biological activity and signaling pathways associated with the CGRP protein.
