About Aerospan Aerospan (flunisolide HFA, 80 mcg) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of asthma in adult and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older. Aerospan is the first and only product registered in the US market with a built-in inhalation chamber (called a “spacer”) which assists in the delivery of the medicine to the lungs.

We will generate interesting marketing synergies with Aerospan, especially in the world's biggest pharmaceutical market, the US", says Dr. Jörg-Thomas Dierks, CEO of Meda AB.
