Lasmiditan is a medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches in adults. It’s a selective serotonin 5-HT1F receptor agonist, meaning it specifically targets and activates the 5-HT1F receptors. Unlike some other migraine medications, it doesn’t cause vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), making it a safer option for individuals with certain cardiovascular conditions. Lasmiditan works by modulating pain pathways in the brain, helping to alleviate migraine symptoms.
