Lincoln Pharmaceuticals Limited (LPL), an Ahmedabad-based company has been granted a patent for a nasal spray, by indian patent office which would help in preventing vomiting and nausea.
The pharma company has won the patent for a novel nasal drug delivery system (NDDS) that helps in providing immediate relief in vomiting and nausea, particularly vomiting induced by chemotherapy. The efficiency of Ondansetron Hydrochloride, the molecule that functions as the agent for preventing vomiting and nausea has been proved through clinical trials by the company. Nasal administration is mostly suitable for powerful drugs as only a small amount can be sprayed into the nasal cavity.
Lincoln Pharmaceuticals is the first company in India to launch an anti-vomiting nasal spray pump, which is expected to be marketed in India and over seas within the next 2 to3 months.
At present anti-vomiting treatments in India are restricted to tablets and injections which take a longer time to bring respite. The nasal spray technology contains a concentrated solution containing API, a pump-actuator assembly and a suitable container. The actuator is premeditated to deliver measured dose/volume in a single hit.
