Before taking this medicine
You should not use Ajovy if you are allergic to fremanezumab-vfrm.
Ajovy is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant. It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby.

The benefit of preventing migraines may outweigh any risks to the baby.
