EXHIBIT 99.1

Nutriband Inc. Issued Full Patent from the Chinese National Intellectual Property Administrant for Its "Abuse and Misuse Deterrent Transdermal System" Application

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / Nutriband (NASDAQ:NTRB)(NASDAQ:NTRBW), has announced that the Chinese National Intellectual Property Administrant (CNIPA) has fully issued its patent titled "Abuse and Misuse Deterrent Transdermal System" which is related to the Company's lead technology AVERSA™.

The patent underpins 4p Therapeutics' abuse deterrent transdermal system, AVERSA, which uses taste aversion to address the primary routes of abuse for opioid based transdermal patches. The patent number reflects the issuance of Patent No: ZL 202211158031.

The CNIPA issued a prior notice of allowance in September 2024.

About AVERSA™ Abuse-Deterrent Transdermal Technology
Nutriband's AVERSA™ abuse-deterrent transdermal technology incorporates aversive agents into transdermal patches to prevent the abuse, diversion, misuse, and accidental exposure of drugs with abuse potential. The AVERSA™ abuse-deterrent technology has the potential to improve the safety profile of transdermal drugs susceptible to abuse, such as fentanyl, while making sure that these drugs remain accessible to those patients who really need them. The technology is covered by a broad intellectual property portfolio with patents granted in the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, Canada, Mexico, and Australia.

About Nutriband Inc.
We are primarily engaged in the development of a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. Our lead product under development is an abuse-deterrent fentanyl patch incorporating our AVERSA™ abuse-deterrent technology. AVERSA™ technology can be incorporated into any transdermal patch to prevent the abuse, misuse, diversion, and accidental exposure of drugs with abuse potential.
