Vertex Partners With World Champion Skier Lindsey Vonn to Raise Awareness of JOURNAVX®, a Non-Opioid Medicine Approved for the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Acute Pain
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq: VRTX) today announced that the company has partnered with world champion skier Lindsey Vonn to raise awareness of JOURNAVX® (suzetrigine), a prescription non-opioid medicine for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2025, JOURNAVX marked the first new class of pain medicine in over 20 years — since then JOURNAVX has been prescribed to over one million Americans. During the 2026 Winter Games in Milano Cortina, Lindsey suffered a serious crash during her downhill race. The fall resulted in multiple injuries that required immediate surgery and several additional procedures. Now, Lindsey is sharing her story and her personal experience treating her moderate-to-severe acute pain with JOURNAVX.
