AbbVie Announces Serena Williams as Spokesperson to Shed Light on UBRELVY® (ubrogepant) as an Effective Treatment Option for Migraine Attacks

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., – August 5, 2020 – AbbVie today announced Serena Williams as the spokesperson for UBRELVY® to raise awareness of an effective acute treatment option for people living with migraine. Whether at work, taking care of kids, or preparing for a Grand Slam Championship tennis match like Serena, UBRELVY can provide relief of migraine attacks. Unlike older migraine medicines that primarily work by constricting blood vessels after a migraine attack has already begun, UBRELVY is the first pill of its kind for the acute treatment of migraine to directly block a protein called CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide), which is believed to play a critical role in migraine attacks. Available by prescription since January 2020, UBRELVY is approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. It is not indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine.
