Pharmacology
Topiramate blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels, augments GABA-A receptor activity, antagonizes the AMPA/kainate subtype of the glutamate receptor, and inhibits carbonic anhydrase isozymes II and IV; the precise mechanisms underlying its anticonvulsant and preventive migraine effects are unknown.
5-HT1F receptor agonist; lasmiditan binds with high affinity to the 5-HT1F receptor and presumably exerts its therapeutic effects in migraine through agonist activity at this receptor, though the precise mechanism is unknown.
