    MEGGLE returns to DDL 2017 with enhanced inhalation offers

    Wasserburg, Germany: – Pharmaceutical lactose specialist MEGGLE Excipients & Technology (MEGGLE) is returning as an exhibitor to the Drug Delivery to the Lungs (DDL) Conference in Edinburgh, showcasing its expanded range of lactose anhydrous and lactose monohydrate-based inhalation agents and excipients.

    For the fifth year in succession, MEGGLE will be a DDL exhibitor with a stand at Booth 234 at the Edinburgh International Conference Center (EICC) featuring a display showcasing latest developments.

    Micronized inhalation lactose

    The stand will feature the enhanced properties of MEGGLE products, including its newly developed micronized lactose grade InhaLac 500, specifically designed for inhalation.

    Developed at MEGGLE’s Wasserburg laboratories in Germany, InhaLac 500 features very small milled 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 reducing retest intervals to 12 months, twice as long as competitor products.

    Storage insights

    “We have a long and proud relationship with DDL, having attended since more than 10 years and contributing many posters and sponsorships,” said Eugen Schwarz, MEGGLE Head of Research & Development.

    Once again, MEGGLE will provide significant input to the conference agenda, with a poster on “Influence of the storage conditions on tenary powder mixtures” based on research by M. Hertel and others in MEGGLE’s Wasserburg laboratories.

    The MEGGLE presence in Edinburgh will be complemented by Sabine Hauptsteinand Diana Kesetovic, Project Manager for Dry Powder Inhalers.
