Respiratory
Breath is Life. To breathe is to sing, to be able to work or play, to enjoy living to the fullest. We strive to consistently make developments in the medical fraternity to spread awareness, shatter myths and empower patients to lead fuller lives. Whether millions are affected or a few hundreds, we take our mission in Respiratory very seriously. No effort is spared to make our products and doctor/patient services easier, better, more useful. Cipla Respiratory products are available across the world, prescribed by physicians and consumed by patients in over 80 countries. This marks a testimony to our world-class quality.
A harmonious fusion of sounds that beautifully captures our emotions, together they create the greatest symphony called LIFE! Let's acknowledge and care for its orchestrator - the lungs.
Breathe. Think Cipla
Therapeutic Categories
Cipla is proud of our commitment to respiratory diseases with the introduction of Salbutamol tablets in 1976 and Salbutamol inhaler in 1978 in India. Since then, we have consistently introduced new products for Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Allergic Rhinitis (AR) and more recently in other diseases such as Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), lung cancer and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).
Asthma
Cipla brought inhalation therapy to India and enabled millions to breathe free.
Paediatric Asthma
Our objective is to create and raise awareness regarding asthma in kids and identify the common triggers for the same.
COPD
We are responding to the growing burden of COPD - recognized as one of the five surging non-communicable diseases in India that need urgent action.
Allergic Rhinitis
With the rise of nasal allergies, we included Allergic Rhinitis in our spectrum. Our nasal spray is the world’s first combination of an antihistamine and an intranasal steroid (INCS) for allergic rhinitis. We also market a range of nasal steroids and oral antihistamines.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
We believe that even rare needs care. We are one of the few companies in the world with medicines to treat orphan diseases like Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Our portfolio of drugs for this therapy includes the world’s first generic:
- Bosentan (Sildenafil and Tadalafil)
- Sildenafil for PAH
Pulmonary Critical Care
Again, we are one of the few companies in the world with injectable antibiotics and doctor support services to treat serious infections in the Intensive Care Unit.
Lung Cancer
We have a specialised division that caters to the treatment of different types of cancer including lung cancer, with non-chemotherapy drugs.
Respiratory Tract Infections
Standing true to our commitment of total lung care, we have the latest generation antibiotics for the management of Respiratory Tract Infections and second line drugs for TB for the international market.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
We have taken it upon ourselves to bring rare diseases like IPF to light and have contributed significantly towards the awareness and management of IPF among Pulmonologists and Chest Physicians in India. In fact, we have the world’s first generic Pirfenidone, the first and only approved therapy for IPF.
