Boehringer Ingelheim’s Alupent (metaproterenol)
Executive Summary
Original formulation of the metered dose inhaler product, which contains sorbitan triolate as the suspension agent, is now available in pharmacies. The company had said in November ("The Pink Sheet" Nov. 6, T&G-16) that it planned to relaunch the product in the original formulation, after it withdrew stocks of a newer formulation following adverse reports from long-time users.
