PHARMACEUTICAL major Cipla received final consent from the US health regulator for Arformoterol Tartrate inhalation solution.

The approved product is used to treat conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema in the US market.


The company has received final approval for its abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) for Arformoterol Tartrate Inhalation Solution 15 mcg/2 mL from the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), Cipla said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday (23).
