Evaluating extractables in low-GQP pMDI formulatioins

Pulmonary drug delivery is undergoing a period of rapid change. Developers must bring increasingly complex therapies to market while preparing inhalers for the transition to low-Global Warming Potential (GWP) propellant technologies. 

Success depends on having expertise across formulation, device integration and scalable manufacturing capabilities. 

Kindeva’s Loughborough, UK facility stands ready for this evolution. Our global centre of excellence for metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) combines expertise in advanced formulation labs, analytical capabilities and commercial filling infrastructure in one integrated environment. 

This integrated environment supports programs from early feasibility to commercial supply. Formulation expertise, device engineering and scalable filling capabilities work together to help developers advance pulmonary therapies while preparing inhalers for the transition to low-GWP.

The result is a platform designed to simplify development, reduce risk and support the future of sustainable inhalation therapies.

In this eBook, you’ll learn:

  • How Kindeva’s Loughborough site delivers comprehensive MDI development and manufacturing services.
  • What makes the facility uniquely equipped to support low-GWP reformulation programs.
  • Why integrated device, formulation and filling capabilities matter more than ever.
  • How this facility is shaping the future of sustainable, scalable pulmonary therapies.

Download the eBook to explore how Kindeva’s Loughborough center of excellence supports scalable pulmonary development and commercial manufacturing, and how it is helping shape the future of sustainable inhalation therapies.
