Migraine care in Knowledge Village, done properly.
Migraine is more than a headache — and Dubai's heat, dehydration and screen time make it worse. We diagnose the type, treat the attack properly (including triptans), and build a preventive plan that actually reduces frequency. Our Knowledge Village patients get the same British-trained GP every visit, with home or clinic appointments and direct WhatsApp access between reviews.

FAQs from Knowledge Village patients
Can you prescribe triptans in Dubai?
+
Yes — sumatriptan, rizatriptan and similar triptans are prescription-only in the UAE and we prescribe them where clinically appropriate.
Why are my migraines worse in summer in Dubai?
+
Heat, dehydration, aggressive AC, disrupted sleep and Ramadan caffeine withdrawal all trigger attacks. A targeted summer plan usually reduces frequency significantly.
Can you visit my home in Knowledge Village?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in Knowledge Village, usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for migraine are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
