The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Atogepant is eliminated mainly through metabolism, primarily by CYP3A4.

With food

Effect of Food When QULIPTA was administered with a high-fat meal, the food effect was not significant (AUC and C max were reduced by approximately 18% and 22%, respectively, with no effect on median time to maximum atogepant plasma concentration).
