This collaboration reinforces m8 Pharmaceuticals' and HENNIG ARZNEIMITTEL's mutual focus continue to promote innovative products to Mexican physicians and proven treatments to patients.

Moreover, the addition of Arlevert® to the m8 portfolio reinforces the company's position as a Latin American leader in the CNS and respiratory space.

 

"We are very extremely happy to license Arlevert® for the Mexican market, as vertigo is a frequent and complex challenge. The combination of the two molecules with different modes of action is an important innovation for addressing both the peripheral and central causes of vertigo" said Joel Barlan, m8's CEO.

 

Regarding the collaboration Kai Schleenhain, CEO of HENNIG ARZNEIMITTEL, said "We are very grateful to have found such a reliable and competent partner for promoting Arlevert® in Mexico. Patients with vertigo will benefit from the convincing and proven efficacy of Arlevert®. We wish m8 great success and look forward working together.".
