Aptar Pharma, developer and manufacturer of nasal and pulmonary drug delivery devices, has developed a customized Dose Indicator for Flutiform®, a SkyePharma product licensed to Mundipharma Intl. Corp. Ltd. in Europe.

Flutiform is a combination of fluticasone propionate (fluticasone), an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and formoterol fumarate (formoterol), a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA). It is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma in patients aged 12 years and over (50/5μg and 125/5μg strengths), and in adults (250/10μg strength) whose symptoms are not adequately controlled on an ICS and an as-required inhaled short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA), and in those patients who are already receiving treatment with both an ICS and LABA.

Flutiform is now available in several countries including Germany and the U.K., and EU marketing authorizations have been granted in a number of other European countries.

Asthma is estimated to affect approximately 30 million people in Europe, and its prevalence is increasing. Six million of these asthma sufferers have severe symptoms and up to 20% of children are affected by the disease. A recent study showed that asthma is costing over 19 billion euros in healthcare and lost working days.

Aptar Pharma is continually expanding its portfolio of drug delivery device solutions to the pharmaceutical industry. This portfolio includes a full range of metering valves, dry powder inhalers and dose indicators, as well as mechanical and electronic dose counters.
