chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) MDI 將走進歷史!


MDI技術亞洲第一,健喬獲利金雞母 2012-10-08 【時報-台北電】健喬(4114)繼上半年每股稅後盈餘交出0.82元的歷史佳績後,由於健喬廠、荷爾蒙製劑廠都已獲PIC/S藥廠認證,也將加速該公司承接外銷訂單實力,而最受矚目的和MDI(定量氣霧吸入劑)將大力搶進全球每年至少160億美元市場規模,未來營運相當樂觀。健喬董事長林智暉表示,MDI已經是未來趨勢的產品,不少先進國家已停用前世代吸入推進劑CFC的使用而改用MDI,目前全球僅有3家原廠及義大利、印度、以色列TEVA3學名藥廠有MDI技術,健喬則是全球第7家,亞洲第一家有此技術的藥廠。 為此,在台灣成為第43PIC/S會員國後,由於PIC/S會員國的相互認證藥廠,也讓MDI的獨門技術相當被看好,目前全球3家原廠MDI的年銷售額高達160億美元,光是GSK一年即可貢獻80億美元營收下,MDI已成健喬未來獲利最大的金雞母。林智暉表示,今年第4季健喬的MDI將有一些產品可望在國內取得上市許可,爾後將申請大陸許可,由於中國將在2013年全面禁用CFC,也讓MDI後市相當看好,明年即可望掀起大成長能量。今年營運大見轉機的健喬,是在2005年購置德國百靈佳在台子廠,2009年取得PIC/S認證,成為國內第5家取得認證之藥廠。健喬也以該廠區為基地,發展極具國際技術性之定量噴霧劑(MDI HFA)國內唯一平台,興建符合國際規格的性荷爾蒙獨立專門廠,結合研發和符合國際規格的廠規發展,目前已在台灣、大陸、香港等地建構自有通路,並外銷藥品至東南亞地區。(新聞來源:工商時報─記者杜蕙蓉/台北報導)

FDA is announcing publication of a final rule that will phase out seven different metered dose inhalers (MDIs) that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). These inhalers use CFCs as propellants to spray the medicine out of the inhaler so patients can breathe the medicine into their lungs. The rule sets dates for the phase-out of each CFC inhaler. After those dates, these CFC inhalers cannot be made, dispensed, or sold in the United States.   There are inhalers that use the propellant hydrofluoroalkane, or HFA, instead of CFCs. There are also dry powder inhalers that don't use a propellant at all, and liquids that are used with a nebulizer machine. These medicines to treat your asthma or COPD may look, feel, or taste different, and may be used differently than your CFC inhaler. When switching to a new medicine, ask your health care professional to show you how to use the new medicine correctly.
