**Exhibit 99.1**

**Axsome Therapeutics Announces Availability of SYMBRAVO**<sup>®</sup> **(meloxicam and rizatriptan) for the Acute Treatment of Migraine with or without Aura in Adults** 

*SYMBRAVO represents a novel multi-mechanistic approach to treating migraine that addresses multiple pathways underlying a migraine attack*

*SYMBRAVO On My Side offers comprehensive patient support services including access and prescription drug support*

NEW YORK, June 10, 2025 (Globe Newswire) – Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXSM), a biopharmaceutical company leading a new era in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced that SYMBRAVO<sup>®</sup> (meloxicam and rizatriptan) is now available by prescription in the United States for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.<sup>1</sup> SYMBRAVO represents a novel multi-mechanistic approach to treating migraine that targets multiple brain pathways underlying a migraine attack. SYMBRAVO rapidly provides migraine pain freedom and returns patients to normal functioning at 2 hours versus placebo, with lasting pain freedom sustained from 2 to 24 hours in some patients after a single dose.

Stewart J. Tepper, MD, Vice President of The New England Institute for Neurology and Headache, said, "Many individuals living with migraine do not achieve adequate pain relief with currently available acute treatments. SYMBRAVO therefore provides a potentially valuable new treatment option as a rapid-acting and durable multi-mechanistic approach. Taken together with the demonstrated data showing effectiveness across a spectrum of migraine severities, I believe that SYMBRAVO offers potentially significant clinical benefits for patients, especially those reporting inadequate relief from migraine pain with their existing treatment program."

Susan Lane Stone, MBA, CEO of the National Headache Foundation (NHF), commented, "The National Headache Foundation educational and advocacy programs encourage the over 40 million Americans (including 31.5 million women and 6.7 million members of the military community) to speak up about their own unique acute migraine journey. Many are still seeking solutions, as they have not yet found relief, so having a new FDA-approved option for the acute treatment of migraine will help address this significant unmet need. For over 50 years, the NHF has been a credible resource for the headache and migraine disorders community. NHF's awareness and educational initiatives have focused on the recognition that head pain and other bothersome symptoms are very real daily challenges for each person living with migraine attacks."

Migraine is a debilitating condition characterized by recurrent attacks of pulsating, often severe and disabling head pain, accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, and/or sensitivity to sound.<sup>2</sup> Migraine affects approximately 40 million people in the U.S. and according to the Global Burden of Disease study in 2019, is the second leading cause of all disability worldwide.<sup>3,4</sup> A recent survey of more than 1700 migraine patients showed that 63% were not satisfied with their current treatment plan.<sup>5</sup>

**About SYMBRAVO**

SYMBRAVO (meloxicam and rizatriptan, 20 mg/10mg tablets) is a novel, oral, single-dose medicine approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. SYMBRAVO consists of MoSEIC™ meloxicam and rizatriptan. Meloxicam is a new molecular entity for migraine enabled by Axsome's MoSEIC (Molecular Solubility Enhanced Inclusion Complex) technology, which enables the rapid absorption of meloxicam while maintaining a long plasma half-life. Meloxicam is a COX-2 preferential non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and rizatriptan is a 5-HT1B/1D agonist. SYMBRAVO is designed to provide rapid, enhanced, and consistent migraine pain relief, and reduced symptom recurrence. The exact mechanism of action of SYMBRAVO in the treatment of acute migraine is unknown.

For more information, visit www.symbravo.com.

**INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION**

**What is SYMBRAVO (sim-BRAH-voh)? SYMBRAVO is a combination of meloxicam (an NSAID) and rizatriptan (a triptan).** SYMBRAVO is an oral prescription medicine used to treat acute migraine headaches with or without aura in adults.

SYMBRAVO is not used to prevent or decrease the number of migraine headaches you have or for treatment of hemiplegic or basilar migraines. SYMBRAVO is not indicated as a treatment for cluster headaches or for use in children.

**WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SYMBRAVO?**

**SYMBRAVO may increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death.** This risk may happen early in treatment and may increase with increasing doses, and longer use, of NSAIDs.

**Do not take SYMBRAVO right before or after a heart surgery called a "coronary artery bypass graft" (CABG).**

**Avoid taking SYMBRAVO after a recent heart attack unless your healthcare provider (HCP) tells you to. You may have an increased risk of another heart attack if you take NSAIDs after a recent heart attack.**

**Stop taking SYMBRAVO and get emergency help right away if you have any of the following symptoms which can be indicative of a heart attack or stroke:**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•discomfort in your chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back<br>•severe tightness, pain, pressure, or heaviness in your chest, throat, neck, or jaw<br>•pain or discomfort in your arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach<br>•shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•breaking out in a cold sweat<br>•nausea or vomiting<br>•feeling lightheaded<br>•weakness in one part or one side of your body<br>•slurred speech |

---

------

**People with risk factors for heart disease should not take SYMBRAVO unless a heart exam is done and shows no problem. You have higher risk for heart disease if you:**

• have high blood pressure•have high cholesterol•smoke •are overweight•have diabetes or a family history of diabetes

**SYMBRAVO can increase the risk of potentially life-threatening bleeding, ulcers, and tears (perforation) of the esophagus (tube leading from the mouth to the stomach), stomach, and intestines that can occur anytime during use and without warning symptoms.**

**SYMBRAVO may cause serious allergic or skin reactions which can be life-threatening.** Stop taking SYMBRAVO and get emergency help right away if you develop:

• sudden wheezing or problems breathing or swallowing•rash or reddening of your skin with blisters or peeling •blisters or bleeding of your lips, eye lids, mouth, nose, or genitals•swelling of your lips, tongue, throat or body•fainting

**SYMBRAVO already contains an NSAID (meloxicam). Do not** use SYMBRAVO with other medicines to lessen pain or fever or with other medicines for colds or sleeping problems without talking to your HCP first, because they may contain an NSAID also.

**Do not take SYMBRAVO if you:**
