The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously identified postmarketing case reports of hypertension associated with erenumab resulting in an amendment of the US Prescribing Information. However, at that time, no hypertension safety signal was apparent for other CGRP\u2010L\/R blockers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this retrospective pharmacovigilance case series, we reviewed case reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database and the medical literature through October 15, 2025, for hypertension associated with the use of any of the eight CGRP\u2010L\/R blockers approved and marketed in the United States, except for erenumab. A case of hypertension was defined as (1) the initiation of a pharmacological intervention or emergency department visit or hospitalization for emergent de novo or worsening of preexisting hypertension, OR (2) blood pressure (BP) measurement \u2265140\u2009mmHg systolic or\u2009\u226590\u2009mmHg diastolic with or without baseline BP measurement reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified a total of 106 cases of hypertension in FDA Adverse Event Reporting System and the medical literature with a probable or possible causal association with CGRP\u2010L\/R blocker use: 78 (74%) cases with CGRP\u2010L monoclonal antibodies and 28 (26%) cases with the CGRP\u2010R small molecules. Reporting of de novo hypertension was slightly more frequent than worsening of preexisting hypertension. The latency between CGRP\u2010L\/R blocker initiation and hypertension onset was \u226430\u2009days in two\u2010thirds of the cases. In over one\u2010third (40\/106) of the cases, new antihypertensive treatment was initiated, or the dosage of preexisting antihypertensive treatment was increased. CGRP\u2010L\/R blocker discontinuation occurred in 76% (47\/62) of the cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adverse event case reports provide reasonable evidence of a causal association between hypertension and CGRP\u2010L\/R blockers used for the preventive or acute treatment of migraine. In light of these findings, the US Prescribing Information of the entire CGRP\u2010L\/R blocker class now includes a description of the risk of hypertension in the Warnings and Precautions section.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/head.70089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,2]],"date-time":"2026-04-02T06:28:08Z","timestamp":1775111288000},"page":"1342-1351","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Arterial hypertension: A safety risk of calcitonin gene\u2010related peptide ligand and receptor blocker class"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5561-6940","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Croteau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pharmacovigilance, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1411-9156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"Tobenkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pharmacovigilance, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0200-6572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suprat","family":"Saely","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pharmacovigilance, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vicky","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pharmacovigilance, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Scripko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Office of Neuroscience, Office of New Drugs US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Jawidzik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Office of Neuroscience, Office of New Drugs US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather D.","family":"Fitter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Office of Neuroscience, Office of New Drugs US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul R.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Office of Neuroscience, Office of New Drugs US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Office of Neuroscience, Office of New Drugs US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Phipps","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Office of Neuroscience, Office of New Drugs US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allen","family":"Brinker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pharmacovigilance, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology US Food &amp; Drug Administration  Silver Spring MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2217\/pmt-2018-0037"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.peptides.2005.02.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1709038"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaneurol.2018.1212"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000009169"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa2035908"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1811090"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1813049"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(22)00517-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/head.14051"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","volume-title":"Aimovig (Erenumab) Prescribing Information","year":"2025"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","unstructured":"Questions and Answers on FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
