About This Medication

# myAbbVie Assist Patient Guide: How to Get UBRELVY (ubrogepant) at Low or No Cost UBRELVY (ubrogepant) is a prescription medication used to treat acute migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. The **myAbbVie Assist** program from **AbbVie** helps eligible patients in the U.S. get UBRELVY for **free** if they have limited or no insurance and meet income guidelines.[1][2][8] ## About UBRELVY and Why Assistance Matters **UBRELVY** is an oral tablet taken as needed at the onset of a migraine. It works by blocking CGRP receptors, a protein involved in migraine pain and symptoms, helping many patients find relief within 2 hours. Unlike older migraine treatments, UBRELVY is not a narcotic or opioid, reducing risks of dependency.[1] Migraines can disrupt daily life, work, and family time. Without insurance or with high costs, accessing UBRELVY can be challenging—copays or out-of-pocket expenses often exceed $800 per pack. **myAbbVie Assist** removes this barrier by providing the medication **at no cost**, including free shipping, to qualifying patients. In 2024, the program helped over 235,000 people access AbbVie medicines like UBRELVY.[1][5] ## Who Qualifies for myAbbVie Assist?
