The drug-free, handheld device features a patented 3-resistance system to aid mucus clearance and improve breathing in patients with COPD, asthma, and bronchiectasis.

PEPAIR is being launched in partnership with AeroDel Technology Innovations, a domestic medical device firm specializing in inhalation and pulmonary rehabilitation solutions. The device addresses chronic mucous hypersecretion, which affects over 90 lakh patients in India, by promoting airway clearance, reducing cough, and supporting optimal respiratory therapy.

Speaking on the launch, Dr. Sharvil Patel, Managing Director, Zydus Lifesciences, said, 'PEPAIR' introduces a patient-centric, drug-free solution to make airway clearance accessible and affordable for millions of patients with chronic respiratory conditions in India.'

Respiratory diseases in India are rising due to air pollution, urbanization, climate-driven allergens, and delayed diagnosis of chronic lung conditions. OPEP therapy, recommended in clinical guidelines, has seen limited adoption due to cost constraints'an access gap PEPAIR' aims to fill.
