Aimovig (Erenumab)

What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

    Description

    Aimovig is a prescription migraine headache medication used to help prevent monthly migraine days and stop them before they start. The active ingredient in this medication - Erenumab - works by blocking the CGRP (calcitonin gene-related) peptide so that it cannot attach to the receptor and starting the neural overexcitation that is behind a migraine headache. It is proven effective for monthly migraine relief, and for many sufferers this migraine injection is better for migraine prevention than other more standard medications.
