Impel NeuroPharma is offering Trudhesa (dihydroergotamine mesylate) nasal spray (0.725 mg per spray) for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.

Trudhesa is now available through Trudhesa Direct, a streamlined, customized, end-to-end process that provides hassle-free prescribing, savings, and home delivery. The digital pharmacy partners, Carepoint Pharmacy and Phil, facilitate the process beginning with e-prescribing and automatic enrollment of eligible, commercially-insured patients in the Trudhesa Direct Savings Program to obtain Trudhesa.

Once the pharmacy partners receive the e-prescription, patients will be notified via digital communications that their prescription has been processed and receive their medication via convenient, free, home delivery.

“We are excited and proud to launch Trudhesa within weeks of FDA approval. Trudhesa utilizes our pioneering pod technology to optimize delivery of DHE to the upper nasal space, giving migraine patients what they want—rapid, sustained, and consistent relief with one dose, self-administered, anytime, anywhere,” said Adrian Adams, chairman and CEO of Impel NeuroPharma. “Trudhesa is being made available via Trudhesa Direct, a streamlined process that includes automatic enrollment in the patient savings program for eligible, commercially insured patients. We look forward to working with our digital pharmacy partners to deliver Trudhesa seamlessly to patients at home, so it’s there when they need it.”

With each Trudhesa prescription, patients will receive four single-use products, each comprised of a pod device and a DHE vial packaged in a compact case. Most patients on Trudhesa achieve pain relief with one single dose.

“Our company, Carepoint Pharmacy, was built to provide patients with a simple and patient-first pharmacy experience that makes getting prescriptions easy, fast and reliable. When patients are dealing with the unpredictability of a condition like migraine, we offer assurance that their medication will arrive quickly, straight to their home, for convenience they can trust,” said Bhavesh Patel, Carepoint Pharmacy CEO.
