Albuterol Sulfate

Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. has received FDA approval for generic Albuterol Sulfate oral tablets (ANDA213657) on May 14, 2020. This expands generic options for respiratory care, driving cost competition. Procurement and supply chain leaders must assess Aurobindo's manufacturing stability, given its high-risk profile and history of recalls, to ensure reliable supply.

Perrigo Company PLC initiated a Class II recall of 7.7 million Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Aerosol units due to a defective delivery system. This significant event, involving manufacturer Catalent Pharma Solutions, underscores critical supply chain vulnerabilities for essential respiratory medications. Procurement directors and supply chain VPs must reassess sourcing strategies and quality control for drug-device combination products to mitigate future disruptions.
