Note: Safety: Do not administer lasmiditan unless patient can wait at least 8 hours between dosing and operating heavy machinery or driving. Use: Consider use if triptans are contraindicated (eg, cardiovascular risk factors), ineffective, or poorly tolerated. Administration early in the course of a migraine attack, at the first sign of pain, may improve response to treatment (Ref).
Migraine, moderate to severe, acute treatment (alternative agent): Oral: 50 to 100 mg as a single dose; repeat doses have not demonstrated efficacy. May increase to 100 or 200 mg as a single dose with subsequent attacks if needed. Maximum: One dose per 24 hours (Ref).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
No dosage adjustment necessary.
Mild or moderate impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B): No dosage adjustment necessary.
Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C): Use is not recommended (has not been studied).
Refer to adult dosing; use caution and initiate at lower end of the dosing range.

There are no contraindications listed in the manufacturer's labeling.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• CNS depression: May cause CNS depression, which may impair physical or mental abilities and cause significant driving impairment. Patients should not engage in activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, for at least 8 hours after administration. Patients may be unable to assess their own driving competence; patients unable to abstain from activities requiring mental alertness for at least 8 hours should not take lasmiditan.
• Serotonin syndrome: Potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome (SS) has occurred in patients receiving lasmiditan without any other drugs associated with SS. SS may also occur when used in combination with other serotonergic agents (eg, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, buspirone, St. John's wort, tryptophan) or agents that impair metabolism of serotonin (eg, monoamine oxidase inhibitors [MAOIs] intended to treat psychiatric disorders, other MAOIs [ie, linezolid and IV methylene blue]). Monitor patients closely for signs of SS, such as mental status changes (eg, agitation, hallucinations, delirium, coma), autonomic instability (eg, tachycardia, labile BP, diaphoresis), neuromuscular changes (eg, tremor, rigidity, myoclonus), GI symptoms (eg, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), and/or seizures. Discontinue treatment (and any concomitant serotonergic agent) immediately if signs/symptoms arise.
Disease-related concerns:
• Cardiovascular disease: Lasmiditan may decrease heart rate and/or increase BP; monitor closely in patients who may not tolerate these effects.
• Hepatic impairment: Use is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Special populations:
• Older adult: Dizziness and increases in systolic BP may occur more frequently in older adults.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Only indicated for the acute treatment of migraine; not indicated for prevention. Acute migraine agents (eg, 5-HT1 agonists, opioids, ergotamine, or a combination of the agents) used for ≥10 days per month may lead to worsening of headaches (medication overuse headache); withdrawal treatment may be necessary in the setting of overuse.

Adverse events were observed in animal reproduction studies.
Treatment of migraine during pregnancy should be individualized considering the available safety data, potential for adverse maternal and fetal events, and needs of the patient (AHS [Ailani 2021]). Lasmiditan is not currently recommended for the treatment of migraine headache in pregnant patients due to lack of data (ACOG 2022).
Data collection to monitor pregnancy and infant outcomes following exposure to lasmiditan is ongoing. Health care providers are encouraged to enroll patients exposed to lasmiditan during pregnancy in the pregnancy registry (1-833-464-4724 or https://www.migrainepregnancyregistry.com). Patients may also enroll themselves.
It is not known if lasmiditan is present in breast milk.
According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother. Lasmiditan is not currently recommended for the treatment of migraine headache in breastfeeding patients due to lack of data (ACOG 2022).
Hepatic function (baseline and as clinically indicated), BP, and heart rate in patients with cardiovascular disease (as clinically indicated).
Lasmiditan is a high-affinity, highly selective 5-HT1F receptor agonist. Selective targeting of the 5-HT1F receptor is hypothesized to decrease stimulation of the trigeminal system and treat migraine pain without causing vasoconstriction (Nelson 2010).
Onset: 30 to 60 minutes (100 and 200 mg doses) (Ashina 2019).
Absorption: Rapid.
Protein binding: ~55% to 60%.
Metabolism: Hepatic and extrahepatic metabolism primarily by non-CYP enzymes.
Half-life elimination: ~5.7 hours.
Time to peak: 1.8 hours.
Excretion: Urine: ~66% (~3% as unchanged drug).
