Fight for Affordable Migraine Relief: Help Get Aimovig on the PBS!

BREAKING NEWS!

Novartis has applied to get Aimovig on the PBS, and it’s now on the PBAC's November agenda! Migraine.org.au announced this exciting development today.

WHAT IS THIS?

Aimovig was the first CGRP medication, preceding Emgality, Ajovy, Vyepti, and Nurtec. It’s a preventative injection like Emgality and Ajovy but works differently, making it effective for different people.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

PBAC stands for Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee. There are four steps a drug must go through to be listed on the PBS, and this is the first one. No medication can be listed without PBAC's recommendation.

Currently, Aimovig costs $695 per dose (every four weeks). If listed on the PBS, the price would drop to $31.60, or $7.70 for those with a concession card.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Make some noise! Whether you use Aimovig or another CGRP, we all need to push for affordable medications for everyone with migraine. Here's how:

1. Submit Your Feedback to PBAC: Voice your need for affordable medication. Visit the submission page on the Department of Health website here >> [https://ohta-consultations.health.gov.au/ohta/pbac-nov-2024/]. Follow the instructions to write and send your submission or fill out their survey. For the survey, select ERENUMAB - Aimovig at question 7.

**Deadline: September 25**

2. Contact Your Local Federal MP: Let your MP know that this issue is under consideration by PBAC. Ask them to talk to the Health Minister about it and support its listing on the PBS. Find a guide for contacting your local MP in the main Migraine Australia Chat Group.

If you’re struggling with the high cost of Aimovig or had to stop taking it despite great results, share your story in your submission to PBAC and emails to your MPs.

3. Join Migraine Australia: Become a member, visit their website, get on their emailing list, and join their Facebook group for support.

Together, we can push for accessible and affordable migraine treatments!
