A NEW pill which can halve the number of agonising migraines experienced by sufferers could soon be available in the UK.
Trials have found atogepant, which is taken once a day, to be twice as effective as treatments currently available in Britain.
Experts have hailed the drug as potentially “life-changing” for the millions of people who regularly experience the throbbing headaches.
Professor Peter Goadsby, honorary consultant neurologist at King’s College Hospital in London, said: “Many patients struggle for years to find an effective treatment.
“During this time, many are resigned to living with the debilitating effects of migraine; it shouldn’t be this way.”
