We are finalists in the Pharmapack Awards 2024 with our patient-centric QR code concept! In Chile, we raise the bar by adding QR codes to contraceptive pill blister packs. A QR code on both secondary and primary packaging—blister and carton—improves access to vital information such as leaflet details. The QR code replaces the traditional leaflet where possible, allowing patients to access the most up-to-date product information anytime.  The new concept powerfully demonstrates our commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering sustainable, efficient, and patient-focused packaging solutions. We are proud that it has been recognised in the final round of the Pharmapack Awards 2024 and look forward to the announcement of the winner on 22 January.   A big thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way!  #WeAreGrünenthal #AwardFinalist #PackagingInnovation #Teamwork #IndustryLeadership #PatientCentricity #GrunenthalPRO #PharmapackAwards Pharmapack Europe

It is estimated that one in five people suffer from chronic pain. This places a heavy burden on the individual, their family and friends. It also has an impact on the economy and social systems. In Europe alone, the annual cost of chronic pain is in the region of €300 billion. For many of our colleagues, however, chronic pain is not an abstract condition - they have either experienced it themselves or know someone who has and understand what it can mean for those affected.    With a focus on pain treatment and research, we have been dedicated to providing innovative pain medicines for the past 50 years. We continue to work on developing the next generation of treatments to improve the lives of people living with pain.

One of our highlights in 2024 was the inauguration of a new production facility in Quito, Ecuador: a 1,800-square-metre plant for the production of 300 million tablets annually to serve pain patients across 17 European countries.  Sebastian led the project and has a very special connection to the new facility. In his episode of our series 'Science Made Me', he provides a glimpse into how the new plant was created: https://bit.ly/45jo5X2 #WeAreGrünenthal #WorldFreeofPain

Donations from our colleagues recently left our headquarters in Aachen to help the people of Ukraine and children across Eastern Europe. Supporting the "Christmas in a Box" campaign, we provide festive surprises for children in orphanages, hospitals and social institutions across Eastern Europe. As part of the Winter Aid for Ukraine💙💛, essentials such as warm clothing, blankets and non-perishable food will help the people of Ukraine get through the coming winter. A big shout out to the colleagues who organised the campaigns and worked with great dedication to make these two initiatives happen again in 2024! #WeAreGrünenthal

On World Diabetes Day, we raise awareness for painful diabetic polyneuropathy, an often overlooked complication of diabetes. Affecting about one in three diabetes patients, polyneuropathy can cause severe pain and significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. Early detection and an accurate diagnosis are crucial for an effective treatment. Listen in as Stephanie Haack, a young diabetes patient, shares her experiences with diabetic polyneuropathy. #WorldDiabetesDay #polyneuropathy #patientvoices #WorldFreeOfPain #WeAreGrünenthal

Our U.S. subsidiary, Averitas Pharma, has completed recruitment for a Phase III clinical trial investigating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Qutenza (capsaicin) 8% topical system in post-surgical neuropathic pain. This debilitating complication of surgery occurs after approximately 10% of all surgical procedures and affects more than 3 million people per year in the U.S. The trial is set up to support a respective U.S. label extension, and we expect its topline results in Q4 2025. If the data are positive, we aim to submit a supplemental new drug application for a US label extension in 2026.   When completed, it will be the first blinded randomized controlled trial in post-surgical neuropathic pain that evaluates the long-term treatment effects of a topical neuropathic pain treatment.

The scale of the flood disaster in Spain has left us deeply saddened and shocked, and our thoughts are with the people who have lost their health, loved ones and belongings.  We have donated €30,000 to the Spanish Red Cross to support the relief efforts on the ground. This donation complements the efforts of our local colleagues from Grünenthal España, who are organising much-needed donations in kind and transporting them to the affected region on their own initiative.  #WeAreGrünenthal
