This study focuses on understanding the safety of two migraine medications, Ubrelvy and Qulipta, when taken during pregnancy. It looks at how these medications might affect pregnant women, their unborn babies, and the infants after they are born, up to the age of 12 months. The study is important because migraines are common, and understanding the effects of these treatments during pregnancy can help ensure the safety of both mothers and their children. The study includes a total of about 1,884 pregnant women in the United States, divided into three groups: those taking Ubrelvy, those taking Qulipta, and a comparator group not using these drugs. Participants in this study will continue taking their medication as prescribed by their doctors. The study will track and assess any major birth defects or chromosomal issues that may arise in the infants. These outcomes will help researchers understand if the medications have any significant risks during pregnancy. By comparing the health of infants from all three groups, the study aims to provide clear information on the safety of using Ubrelvy and Qulipta during pregnancy.
