Vyepti is a monoclonal antibody that is specifically designed for recognition of and a high attraction to calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and prevent migraines.
Trigeminal neurons are the unique anatomical foundation for peripheral initiation of migraines and its central signaling. Trigeminal afferents become more provoked by the release of CGRP initiating a domino effect leading to a migraine.
Vyepti targets and forms a stable binding complex with CGRP and effectively disables the portion of CGRP that activates the CGRP receptor stopping activation of downstream biological activity to prevent migraines.
Vyepti cost can vary depending on several factors including insurance status and insurance provider. At Pure Infusion Suites, we are committed to lowering costs and improving access for our patients. Our team of patient access coordinators are here to set you up for success.
We work with a growing list of insurance providers, and are always working to ensure claims/authorizations are processed efficiently. All patients are enrolled in co-pay assistance programs to assist in covering costs of treatment.
Additionally, data from an Artemetrx report shows average costs at an outpatient hospital facility are more than 3X higher than costs at an ambulatory infusion center. That means we save our patients’ money, while offering a more comfortable experience!

Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your infusion therapy.
Your dedicated Infusion nurse will check your vitals and review your medical history to check for improvements or potential side effects of your infusion therapy.
Your nurse will begin your infusion and check in on you periodically during your treatment.
