The FDA has approved Lupin’s generic version of Teva’s ProAir HFA albuterol MDI for the treatment of asthma, the company said. Lupin said that it will manufacture the inhaler at its facility in Indore, India.
Lupin CEO Vinita Gupta commented, “Approval of our generic albuterol MDI is a significant milestone in our complex generics evolution and a validation of our Inhalation team’s development capabilities, backed by our global manufacturing strength in handling multiple dosage forms. The approval is timely as albuterol MDI is a key rescue inhalation product for asthma patients who are at an increased risk of COVID-related complications. We look forward to launching the product this quarter and expect a steady ramp-up through the fiscal year.”
