Kerry Launches Aero Flo Brand Inhalation Grades of Lactose at DDL 2019

Building on a long and well established history of supplying world class pharmaceutical grade lactose, film coatings, and tableting systems, Kerry introduces Aero Flo® Inhalation lactose, designed to meet the growing demand for lactose that is suitable for developing dry powder inhalers.

Aero Flo® Brand Inhalation Grades of lactose have been specifically developed for use in dry powder inhalers (DPI) for pulmonary delivery of pharmaceuticals. In these applications, particle size, and crystal morphology play a critical role in delivering the API to the lungs, without interfering with the absorption of the drug itself.

Kerry recognizes that these are important considerations to be factored in to the manufacture of the lactose which is why the standard grades of Aero Flo® are specially engineered to have specific particle size ranges, and microbiological purity. In addition, Kerry’s unique processing maintains the crystallinity of the lactose, which can be a critical factor when formulating DPI’s.
