Jourvanx (Suzetrigine) - Approved Indications

Based on the available evidence, there is no information about Jourvanx (Suzetrigine) in the provided medical literature, and therefore I cannot determine what conditions this medication is approved to treat.

Critical Finding

  • None of the provided guidelines, drug labels, or research studies mention Jourvanx or Suzetrigine
  • The evidence base consists entirely of migraine treatment guidelines, medication overuse headache management, Botox for chronic migraine, and various epilepsy medications (brivaracetam, eslicarbazepine, levetiracetam)
  • No FDA drug label or prescribing information for Jourvanx/Suzetrigine was included in the evidence

Context Regarding Patient History

While the expanded question mentions a patient with partial-onset seizures and migraines, the evidence provided does not contain any information linking Jourvanx (Suzetrigine) to treatment of either condition:

  • For partial-onset seizures: The evidence discusses brivaracetam, eslicarbazepine, and levetiracetam as treatment options, but not Suzetrigine 1, 2
  • For migraines: Extensive guidelines cover NSAIDs, triptans, antiemetics, preventive medications (beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, antidepressants), and onabotulinumtoxinA, but Suzetrigine is not mentioned 3, 4

Recommendation

To answer this question accurately, I would need access to the FDA drug label or prescribing information for Jourvanx (Suzetrigine), which was not provided in the evidence base. Without this critical information, I cannot make evidence-based recommendations about this medication's approved indications, dosing, contraindications, or role in treating any medical condition.
