Explained in plain English
Will the NHS pay for it?
Currently, Foundayo isn't automatically available on the NHS. This means that while it's approved for use, the NHS hasn't decided to routinely fund it for everyone who might benefit. Decisions like this involve assessing the pill's effectiveness, cost, and overall value compared to existing treatments, which takes time.
