Serena Williams partners up with migraine medication

Former world no. 1 had migraine earlier but never looked much into it as it was not that severe. But during the quarantine period during the pandemic it became intense, and she started Ubrelvy with which she has partnered up now. Serena took to her Instagram to announce her partnership.

She stated, “#Migraine hits hard, so I hit back with @UBRELVY (ubrogepant). It quickly stops my migraine attack in its tracks, so I don’t have to worry if it’s too late to take it or where I am. Whether I’m working out or I’m at an event, I keep UBRELVY on hand to be ready anytime, anywhere my migraine strikes.”

The medication has kept her mind at ease. She further clarified that UBRELVY is a prescription medicine used to treat migraine attacks in adults. It is not for migraine prevention.

How did Serena deal with migraine?

Serena Williams had severe bouts of migraine during the pandemic because she was taking care of her daughter Olympia all day long. Other than that, she was working for her venture and fashion company on a computer. The player had been suffering from migraines for a longer period. She accepted the fact that it has hindered her in some matches as well.
