CDSCO Panel grants Cipla's Prescribing Information update for Bovine Lipid Extract Surfactant Suspension
New Delhi: The Subject Expert Committee (SEC) functional under the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has approved the drug major Cipla's proposal for updating the prescribing information for the bovine lipid extract surfactant without the provided precaution statement of "In minimal invasive techniques (LISA or MIST), the volume of surfactant should be small. After the installation of a large volume surfactant (Bovine) which can initiate cough reflex, the chance of failure is high. But the advantages of LISA (Less Invasive Surfactant Administration), or MIST (Minimal Invasive Surfactant Therapy) is much more than conventional surfactant therapy."
