Delivers an accurate, single metered dose

Our Unidose nasal spray system was designed to precisely and consistently deliver formulated nasal spray drug products by a single dose.

We designed the nasal spray systems for both intranasal and sublingual therapies, that can meet the needs of application.

Aptar Pharma’s liquid formulation Unidose systems can deliver their full metered dose with reproducible spray performance, even for therapies that require high deposition in nasal or buccal cavity target areas.

Aptar’s Unidose nasal spray systems may be ideal for some drugs that need to quickly enter the central nervous system (CNS). This rapid onset delivery route makes our nasal sprays ideal for emergency use indications.

Unidose Liquid Nasal Spray 360 degree functionality

Simple

Aptar Pharma’s Unidose nasal spray system, used in ready-to-use devices, is intuitive and simple for caregivers, family and even patients themselves to use. No priming or shaking required. Just insert in the nostril and depress the actuator to administer the dose. The Unidose nasal spray provides 360° functionality, so the dose can be administered from practically any position. The ease of use makes it ideal for emergency applications when time is of the essence and simplicity of administration can make all the difference.

Nasal Spray Drug Repositioning

Drug repositioning opportunities

Aptar Pharma’s Unidose nasal spray system provides a unique opportunity to reposition or repurpose existing drugs from other delivery routes to OINDP devices including nasal sprays. Our expertise and experience in adapting existing drug products to products that use single-dose nasal spray systems has helped numerous partners to extend the lifecycle of their products, respond to unmet patient needs and provide unique brand differentiation.
In general, the nasal drug delivery route can offer the added benefit of fast drug absorption into the bloodstream, producing rapid onset of action. With nasal drug delivery, the drug is delivered directly via the mucosa. The nasal spray delivery route can also provide targeted local or systemic drug delivery and avoids painful needle injections.
