Alkem launches inhalation device Innohaler for Asthma, COPD patients
With the introduction of this device, Alkem is entering the core inhalation therapeutics and envisaging that the drug will reach the lungs effectively in each inhalation with added patient awareness and adherence programmes.;
New Delhi: In line with the theme for the World Asthma Day this year -- 'Closing Gaps in Asthma Care', Alkem has launched Innohaler, a DPI device to make life easier for Asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients, thereby filling the prevalent gaps in Asthma care in India.
Asthma and COPD contribute majorly to the burden of Obstructive Airway Diseases (OAD). If we believe in statistics, the burden of OADs (Asthma & COPD) in India has been at an all-time high. Out of approx., nine crore patients suffering from OADs in India, less than one crore have access to the right kind of lung care.
Lung is considered as one of the most delicate and vulnerable organs susceptible to an array of diseases. Asthma and COPD are major obstructive diseases characterized by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing. A Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) is considered the most preferred drug delivery platform for such patients.
Alkem is all set to fill the massive gap in accessibility for the treatment of respiratory diseases in India and has further made a big leap in the pulmonology vertical by introducing Innohaler, a DPI device.
