Teva Pharmaceutical Industries subsidiary Teva Canada has launched a new device, called Aermony RespiClick, to help people suffering from bronchial asthma.

Offered in a simple-to-use inhaler, the new device is indicated for the maintenance treatment of steroid-responsive bronchial asthma as prophylactic therapy in patients aged 12 years and above.

The fluticasone propionate inhalation powder is packaged in the device, which comes with features to ease the administration of inhaled therapy. The device has a cap that integrates the opening and priming steps while a ‘click’ sound indicates that the dose is ready.

It is designed to help reduce patients’ coordination errors and help boost their confidence in the dose and the device, the company noted.

Teva Canada general manager Christine Poulin said: “We’re pleased that Aermony RespiClick is now available in Canada. With this innovative method of delivery of medication, respirologists and asthma patients will experience the simplified administration features the RespiClick device has to offer.
