Include migraine on the list of medical exemptions for free prescriptions.

Closed 156 signatures

What the petition asks

Migraine is not currently included on the valid list of medical exemptions in the UK so that prescriptions can be sought without an additional charge.

1 in 7 people suffer with migraine, a genetic neurological condition which is the leading cause of disability in women of childbearing age. Migraine can be as disabling than diabetes which is covered on the Medex list. Prescriptions for migraine sufferers can cost extortionate amounts of money every month if they are having to pay for acute medications, prophylaxis medications and medications to deal with secondary conditions associated with migraine.
