Improving Lives Through Better Respiratory Health

Respiratory health plays a critical role in overall well-being and quality of life. Conditions affecting the lungs and airways can significantly impact daily functioning, productivity, and long-term health outcomes. As populations age and environmental factors continue to influence respiratory health, the demand for effective and accessible respiratory therapies continues to grow.

According to the World Health Organization, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accounts for around 5% of deaths globally. The number of COPD cases in India is about 55 million and asthma is 43 million. This is a clear indication of the urgent need for effective respiratory disorder treatments.

The respiratory treatment landscape has evolved rapidly with advances in inhalation therapies, drug-device combinations, digital monitoring solutions, and patient education platforms. These innovations are helping clinicians improve disease control while enabling patients to lead a better quality of life.

Therapeutic Categories

Our respiratory portfolio addresses a broad spectrum of disorders with a focus on long-term respiratory disease management and improved patient healthcare outcomes.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

A chronic lung disease which causes restriction in flow throughout airways and gradual lung damage, caused generally due to exposure to smoke, pollutants and fumes leading to chronic cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.

Asthma

A chronic lung condition in which the airways become narrowed and inflamed, leading to breathing difficulty, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Allergic Rhinitis

A condition caused by inflammation of the nasal passages due to airborne allergens, resulting in symptoms such as nasal congestion, itching, and fatigue.
