Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories introduces FDA-approved Nerivio for migraine management in India

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd., a global pharmaceutical company, has announced the rollout of Nerivio in India. This state-of-the-art, United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved wearable therapy device offers a drug-free option for managing migraines. Migraine is a prevalent global health challenge, significantly impacting women, who make up about 60% of the 213 million migraine sufferers in India.

Nerivio: A Breakthrough in Migraine Management

Nerivio is a prescription-based, non-invasive device intended for acute and prophylactic treatment of migraines in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and above. The device, worn on the upper arm, uses Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) to activate a natural pain-relieving process in the brainstem.
