Catalent Responds to the Global Outbreak of COVID-19

As a global development and manufacturing partner that supplies medicines, clinical trial materials, and health products to millions of patients and consumers, we are taking decisive action to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees, partners, customers and their patients.

 

To help ensure the safety of our employees and partners, and to protect supply to patients we have taken extensive actions, which are in line with guidelines issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and local authorities where we operate. These safety measures include re-emphasizing good hygiene practices to all, restricting visitor access to our sites, limiting employees to only business-critical travel, and, wherever possible, employing remote-working strategies.


As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, Catalent will continue to put the Patient First, and will do everything possible to keep our people safe and healthy, and to strive to meet the needs and expectations of our customers.

First FDA Approval of Generic HFA Inhaler

Last month, Catalent and Perrigo welcomed the news that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved the first generic hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI). The approval marked a significant technical achievement, as it was the first generic MDI to be approved by the FDA since 1996. This new commercial offering adds to Catalent’s existing development and manufacturing capabilities across all common inhalation dosage forms. Perrigo’s launch of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Aerosol marks Catalent’s entry into commercial-scale MDI manufacturing, adding new capabilities to Catalent’s Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, facility, and bolstering its respiratory portfolio, which includes various formulation, development and manufacturing services.
