Woman Sues Boots After Alleged Stroke from Migraine Medication

A woman has sued Boots in the High Court, claiming she suffered a brain bleed and stroke after taking migraine medication bought from the pharmacy. It is alleged that the medication interacted negatively with an antidepressant she was taking, leading to severe health issues. Boots denies the claims, stating that customers purchasing the medication are usually referred to a pharmacist. The woman experienced health complications after taking the medication and had to be hospitalized for a month.

The woman, Sigrid O’Meara, has sued Boots Retail (Ireland) Ltd, alleging that the pharmacy sold her inappropriate medication without proper advice. Boots disputes the claims, arguing that the woman failed to disclose her medical history and seek advice. The case is ongoing in the High Court.
