The custom-made solutions in inhalation

A growing number of diseases are being treated with inhalation medicines. Many treatments now use Dry Powder Inhalers, which invariably need a high quality inhalation grade of lactose to power the formulation. Each Dry Powder Inhaler device is different; often they need a specific grade of lactose to ensure correct product performance, particularly for highly regulated markets. Due to regulatory demands, all our inhalation grade lactose is produced in dedicated inhalation production sites.

Regulatory Support

A Drug Master File is available to support the registration of a new formulation in the United States. For optimal control on the functionality and to comply with regulatory requirements, additional testing above the current pharmacopoeiais in place.

Technical Support

DFE Pharma Inhalation develops pharmaceutical lactose that facilitates delivery of your active ingredient to the lung. We work closely with pharmaceutical companies to design lactose particles with the required functionality for the drug, device and filling-platform. Our inhalation development team is available for customer's new product development. Please contact us to discuss your project in more detail.

Research and Development

Through our own research and close co-operation with research institutes and universities, we are continuously expanding our knowledge of lactose and other excipients that can be used for inhaled delivery. Of particular interest to us is the physiochemical behaviour of lactose under conditions relevant for use as an excipient in advanced pharmaceutical applications. With this knowledge we can advise our customers on the latest scientific developments.

    Can you produce a customised grade?

    Yes, we can. Please contact your sales representative for more information. You can also fin more information on our customised product development process here.

    How does your production of inhalation lactose differ from your tabletting grades?

    Inhalation lactose is specifically produced and tested to meet inhalation requirements. We can customise a grade of inhalation lactose to meet specific product performance requirements. Please click here for more information or contact the responsible DFE sales representative.

    What is the difference between Pharmatose® and Lactochem® on one hand and Respitose® and Respitose® and Lactohale® on the other hand?

    Pharmatose® and Lactochem® are brands for tableting grade lactose that is designed for oral dosage applications. This means that it will be swallowed and enter the digestive tract and meets the current requirements of the USPNF/Ph.Eur./JP. Respitose® and Lactohale® are brands designed for inhalation applications and as there is a chance that some of the material will be inhaled then the microbiological requirements are tighter. Respitose® and Lactohale® also has a tighter particle size distribution to enhance its performance in inhaled devices.
