Migraine Treatment
Assessment and prescription treatment for migraines through a confidential pharmacy consultation.
This is a private clinical service. When you book, you will be asked a few screening questions to check eligibility before scheduling a phone consultation. A £5 deposit will be required - our team will contact you to arrange payment.
Migraine Treatment
Migraines are more than just a headache. They can cause severe, throbbing pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and can last for hours or even days. If over-the-counter painkillers are not controlling your migraines, our pharmacy can help. Our trained pharmacists provide confidential phone consultations to assess your symptoms and, where appropriate, prescribe effective migraine treatment.
How the Service Works
Getting migraine treatment through our pharmacy is simple.
- Book a phone consultation through our website
- Discuss your migraine history, frequency, and symptoms with a pharmacist
- If suitable, receive a prescription for triptan medication or other appropriate treatment
- Receive advice on identifying triggers and managing your migraines
Treatment Options
Depending on your migraine pattern and medical history, treatment may include:
- Sumatriptan - a fast-acting triptan that targets migraine symptoms directly
- Other triptan medications depending on your response and preferences
- Anti-nausea medication if sickness is a significant feature of your migraines
- Lifestyle and trigger management advice
When to Seek Further Help
While our pharmacy service can help with episodic migraines, you should see your GP if:
- Your migraines are increasing in frequency or severity
- You are having more than 4 migraines per month
- Over-the-counter and pharmacy treatments are not working
- You are experiencing new or unusual symptoms alongside your migraines
