Cipla Launches Inhaled Insulin Afrezza

Cipla Launches Inhaled Insulin Afrezza

Cipla has launched a new product called Afrezza, which is a powder that you can inhale to get insulin into your body.

This is different from the usual insulin shots that people with diabetes have to take.

The powder starts working very quickly, in about 12 minutes, which is similar to how your body naturally makes insulin.

You use a special inhaler to take the powder, and it comes in single-use cartridges.

This new way of taking insulin might be easier for some people, especially those who don't like needles.

However, it's not good for people who have problems with their lungs, like asthma or COPD.

Cipla thinks this new product will help people stick to their insulin treatment better and control their blood sugar more quickly.

The company also plans to educate people about using insulin correctly through a nationwide awareness program.
