Pfizer introduces a new breakthrough for acute migraine relief in the UAE, aiming to transform patient care
Groundbreaking nasal spray treatment providing pain relief as early as 15 minutes
New treatment builds on Pfizer’s migraine portfolio to further meet the needs of people living with this debilitating disease
DUBAI(News Desk):: Migraine, a debilitating neurologicaln disorder , affects over a billion people globally . Today, Pfizer marks a significant milestone in its journey towards advancing healthcare in the UAE by introducing a ground breaking nasal spray for acute migraine treatment demonstrating pain relief as early as 15 minutes, bringing hope and relief for adult patients with acute migraine.
A migraine attack is not simply a strong headache. People with migraine endure recurring episodes of
moderate-to-severe headache pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and
sound. These episodes, known as migraine attacks, can last from hours to several days and are often
so incapacitating that they push individuals to the sidelines of life. Migraine may disrupt work and social
activities, forcing individuals to anticipate and plan for impending attacks.
This new advancement in the treatment of migraine underscores Pfizer’s commitment to delivering an
additional treatment option for individuals seeking rapid relief and getting back to their daily lives.
“Migraine attacks can limit patient ability to perform day-to-day activities, including professional and family
responsibilities. Among my migraine patients, one of the most important attributes of an acute treatment
option is how quickly it works. As a nasal spray with rapid drug absorption, this treatment can reduce
migraine attacks swiftly, allowing people to function and reclaim their sense of normalcy, bringing the
potential to ease burdens of this debilitating condition,” said Professor Suhail Alrukn President of Emirates Neurology Society in UAE and Consultant Neurologist at Rashid Hospital.
Dr. Nadine Tarcha, Pfizer Gulf Medical Director, added, “Our commitment to migraine care is reflected
in our extensive research and development efforts, as well as our collaborations with healthcare
professionals and patient organizations to raise awareness and improve patient outcomes. At Pfizer, we
are dedicated to bringing the latest advancements in medical science to this region, and we will continue
to build our migraine portfolio to further support the people impacted by this debilitating disease.”
