The news has arrived that NICE has rejected Rimegepant and it won't be offered to migraine sufferers in the UK : migrainetrust.org/news/nice...

The Gepants are a revolutionary type of medications which are the most effective medication to date and don't cause medication overuse. People with heart issues can use them as well. Gepants can be used a preventive or acute medication. They have been widely used for a couple of years in the States and are a life saver for millions of migraineurs.

Please read the link above and if you can, send your comments to NICE in their public consultation.

Please can everyone consider responding to the NICE document. It is really easy and these drugs would make such a difference to those of us with chronic migraine. Thanks
