‘Life-changing’ migraine pill could be available in the UK by Christmas

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.”
