Rajeev Sibal, President – India Region Formulations, Lupin said, “Studies indicate that nearly 90 per cent of patients don’t use their inhalers correctly. This can have multiple implications such as developing uncontrolled symptoms, a higher rate of asthma attacks or even flare-ups. We believe this platform would assist healthcare professionals in significantly helping their patients understand correct inhalation technique and better manage their ailment.”
According to Lupin, India has nearly 35 million people living with asthma, including children and there is no cure for asthma, while it is manageable with proper treatments, vigilance, regular medical checks, and drug adherence, thus helping the patients to lead a normal life, said the company.
Lupin said it will undertake a pan India integrated marketing campaign including social media and radio channels
