Lupin collaborate with Honeywell for usage of propellant for inhalers
Mumbai: Global pharma major Lupin Limited has announced its plan to use Honeywell's Solstice Air (HFO-1234ze cGMP) propellant to transform respiratory care through the development of next-generation inhalers.
Designed for patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Honeywell Solstice Air has the potential to prevent the release of high global warming potential (GWP) molecules. Solstice Air offers an alternative to traditional hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-based propellants, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 99.9%
"Lupin intends to become the first pharmaceutical company in India to use Honeywell’s Solstice Air product at scale as a next-generation propellant in pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs). By investigating the use of this innovative, non-flammable propellant in its pMDIs, Lupin is taking a significant step toward minimizing the environmental impact of respiratory solutions while providing effective treatment options for patients with asthma and COPD," the company stated in a release.
