Introduction: Side effect of Emgality. If you or a loved one lives with painful migraines, you know how headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, and nausea can disrupt your daily routine. Understandably, addressing these symptoms is a priority – mainly if they occur frequently.
Emgality (galcanezumab) is a management option you may have heard of. This monoclonal antibody works by blocking calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) – a protein that causes blood vessels in your brain to swell and cause pain. By blocking CGRP, Emgality may help prevent migraine symptoms over time.
It can also treat cluster headaches, a type of headache that causes severe pain on one side of the head. For most people, Emgality is well tolerated. But if you are taking Emgality, there are still some side effects you should be aware of.
In this article, I will overview the ordinary and less common side effects of Emgality.
