Mumbai, India; April 9, 2020: Cipla Limited (BSE: 500087; NSE: CIPLA EQ; and hereafter referred to as "Cipla") today announced that it has received final approval for its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Aerosol 90mcg (base)/actuation, from the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA).
Cipla’s Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Aerosol 90mcg (base)/actuation, is the first AB-rated generic therapeutic equivalent version of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp’s Proventil® HFA Inhalation Aerosol. It is used for treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm or prevention of asthmatic symptoms.
According to IQVIA (IMS Health): Proventil® HFA Inhalation Aerosol and its authorized generic equivalent had US sales of approximately $153M for the 12month period ending February 2020. The entire Albuterol Sulfate HFA Inhalation Aerosol market had US sales of approximately $2.8 Billion for the 12-month period ending February 2020.
Umang Vohra (MD and Global CEO, Cipla Limited) said, “We are pleased to receive the final approval for generic Albuterol MDI from the USFDA. This further strengthens our presence in the US market. Albuterol is the first generic metered dose inhaler of Proventil® HFA Inhalation Aerosol ever approved by FDA in the US and Cipla’s first device-based inhalation product in the market. This development reiterates our commitment of strengthening our respiratory franchise and will further solidify our position as lung leader globally. We will
continue to build on our portfolio of drug-device combinations in the respiratory space to serve the unmet needs of our patients across markets.”
We are planning shipments in a staggered manner. We are also ensuring that we do our bit by donating the product in this time of need.
