Asthma
Over 60 years ago, a tiny puff of medicine launched a therapeutic revolution. Cipla brought inhalation therapy to India and enabled millions to breathe free. We have been consistently working towards the freedom of asthmatic patients in India. In fact, we pioneered inhalation therapy in India, decades before anyone else. Today, we are helping the world breathe better. We have the world’s largest range of inhaled medication and devices. For every condition, every age and every stage, we have the right medication, the perfect dosage form, the right delivery system for the management of asthma.
Breathefree
Breathefree is a public service initiative from Cipla, for patients with chronic airway diseases. It was commenced on occasion of 75 years of Cipla. Breathefree, today, is a comprehensive patient support system for respiratory care.
Berok Zindagi is an initiative that aims at helping asthmatics realize their true potential and live unstoppable lives with the help of an inhaler. We at Cipla have crafted Berok Zindagi as a tool to arm people with all the knowledge they need to tackle the stigma surrounding inhalation therapy head-on and adopt inhalers, without hesitation.* (*Indian J Allergy Asthma Immunol 2003; 17 (2): 85 – 87, International Journal of Medicine and Public Health 2013; 3(2);159-162, Lung India 1994; 12(1); 25-26)
Helping millions breathe free
Paediatric Asthma
Asthma in children is not the same as asthma in adults. While adults show some of the typical symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, coughing and chest tightness, children may not show the same kind of symptoms. Most asthmatic children will have cough as the prominent symptom. A persistent cough, one that lasts for more than 3-4 weeks, could be an indicator of asthma in children.
