The relationship between pharmacodynamic activity and the mechanism by which zavegepant exerts its clinical effects is unknown. No clinically relevant differences in resting blood pressure were observed when zavegepant was concomitantly administered with sumatriptan (12 mg subcutaneous, given as two 6 mg doses separated by one hour) compared with sumatriptan alone to healthy volunteers.
