Serving personnel, civilians and veterans that were given Nerve Agent pre treatment and and anti-malarial medicines are now suffering physical and mental health symptoms and a correlation between these medicines and symptoms needs to be made more public and open to investigation and compensation.
The drugs in question are Larium(Mefloquine) anti malarial.

Pyridostigmine Bromide Tablets(Nerve Agent Pre Treatment medicine) L1A1

Co morbidities alongside other medication

Dont let this be brushed under the carpet and kept to small print articles in the news.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what specific action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. If you would like an independent inquiry into the use of these drugs, you could start a new petition asking for that.
