Pharmaceutical company Lupin Ltd has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its generic version of Cyanocobalamin nasal spray. The nasal spray is used to maintain normal vitamin B12 levels in patients with pernicious anemia. The approved strength of the spray is 500 mcg/spray. Lupin will manufacture the product at its Somerset facility in the US.
Cyanocobalamin nasal spray had estimated annual sales of USD 69 million in the US, according to data from IQVIA MAT March 2023.
Lupin’s generic version of Cyanocobalamin nasal spray will provide a more affordable alternative for patients in need of this medication. Pernicious anemia is a condition that affects the body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12, leading to low levels of the vitamin in the blood. This can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and neurological problems.
With the approval from the FDA, Lupin will be able to provide a cost-effective solution to patients suffering from pernicious anemia. This will not only benefit the patients but also contribute to the overall healthcare system by reducing the financial burden associated with the treatment of this condition.
Cyanocobalamin nasal spray is a convenient and easy-to-use option for patients who have difficulty absorbing vitamin B12 through oral supplements. Administered through the nasal cavity, the spray delivers the medication directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the need for absorption in the digestive system.
Lupin’s commitment to manufacturing the product in the US further highlights the company’s dedication to providing accessible healthcare solutions to patients in the American market. By producing the nasal spray locally, Lupin will contribute to the growth of the domestic pharmaceutical industry and create job opportunities within the country.
The approval of Lupin’s generic Cyanocobalamin nasal spray is a significant milestone for the company as it expands its portfolio of affordable generic medications. Lupin continues to focus on delivering high-quality pharmaceutical products that improve patient outcomes and enhance access to healthcare.
