Amcor Flexibles and Sandoz International AirFluSal Forspiro
A respiratory inhaler, from Sandoz International, for people suffering with asthma/COPD, uses a alufoil blister strip developed by Amcor Flexibles, to ensure a longer shelf life of the powder in the AirFluSal Forspiro device.
The strip protects the inhalation powder from moisture ingress and improves performance during transportation and release of the powder from the cavity. All the components had to be combined to achieve the required performance. The protection of the active ingredient – a hygroscopic powder – is due to the use of the alufoil blister strip.
