Cipla Receives US FDA Approval for Generic Ventolin Inhaler, Targets US Respiratory Market

Cipla has received final approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for its generic version of Ventolin, an albuterol inhaler used to treat bronchospasm. This approval positions Cipla strongly in the US respiratory market, valued at around $1.5 billion, and supports its planned launch in early FY 2026-27. Analysts expect the approval to boost Cipla's US growth and revenue, with manufacturing based in Massachusetts enhancing supply resilience. The company’s broader respiratory portfolio and pipeline are seen as key growth drivers.
