Erenumab, an innovative drug for the treatment of migraines, was recently introduced to Zhongshan Chenxinghai Hospital. Mr Tan, a resident of Shenzhen, was the first patient to receive this drug in Zhongshan.

The drug was delivered to Zhongshan Chenxinghai Hospital on September 9 through cold chain transport. Mr Tan made an appointment as soon as he learned the news from social media platforms, and he was administered with the drug on September 16 after diagnosis and examination.
