    MEGGLE launches micronized inhaler lactose InhaLac® 500

    Wasserburg, Germany: – Pharmaceutical lactose specialist MEGGLE Excipients & Technology (MEGGLE) has launched InhaLac® 500, its first micronized inhaler excipient.Developed at MEGGLE’s Wasserburg laboratories in Germany, InhaLac® 500 is MEGGLE´s first micronized lactose grade, specifically designed for inhalation with extremely small particles. Combined with high quality and safety, this material meets the most demanding individual dry powder inhalation formulation requirements.

    InhaLac® 500 is the finest grade of the InhaLac® product family which also includes sieved grades InhaLac® 70, InhaLac® 120, InhaLac® 230 and InhaLac® 251, along with milled grade InhaLac® 400.

    High cohesion and stability

    The micronization process used for InhaLac® 500 produces very small particles, high cohesive properties and even distribution, with 90 % of the particles being smaller than 10 μm (x50 ≤ 5 μm). This allows a wider choice of applications as fines or as co-agglomerate in dry powder inhalation products.

    A further key benefit is long shelf life, with high stability and a retest date of 12 month.

    Versatile applications

    InhaLac® 500 is a micronized ultra fine lactose that is suitable for ternary DPI formulations. The addition of micronized fines improves the drug product performance, particularly with regard to fine particle fractions (FPF) when used in ternary mixtures. This can be related to several known effects, such as buffer effect or the saturation of high-energy active sites. Further, the high cohesiveness of the micronized material helps to alter the fluidization behavior of the powder blend.

    The micronized size with an x90 smaller than 10 µm, makes InhaLac® 500 ideally suited for application in soft spherical pellet formulations and across a range of different formulation types, for example as micronized fines in ternary adhesive mixtures (5-15 % wt.) or as filler in soft spherical pellets.
