Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd., a global pharmaceutical company, has announced the rollout of Nerivio 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.
