Laboratorios Cinfa launched in the Spanish market Respirub and Respirub infantil, a non-greasy, clean balsamic rub cream available in an innovative dispensing stick.
“Improving existing healthcare products is a long term mission of our company” said Paolo Galfetti CEO of APR. “The concept of a balsamic rub-cream is very old but also most of the formulations currently marketed are quite obsolete. We thought the concept was still good but the patients would have benefit for a more modern application of such concept and therefore we decided to develop a rub-cream with the most advanced and up-to-date standards in term of safety, cleanliness, easy use. We are very proud company of the reputation of CINFA took this opportunity for such an important market like Spain. I would also like to express my appreciation for the great cooperation we had from Bioselenia, our strategic licensing partner, that helped to build the connection between APR and CINFA on this deal”.
Respirub and Respirub infantil are balsamic creams fully developed by APR respectively for adults and kids starting from 3 years old. The adult formulation is based on menthol, eucalyptus and camphor while the kid formulation is based on eucalyptus, pine and lavender. The product may be used as a traditional rub-cream, directly inhaled from the stick or poured in warm water to inhale the vapors. In all these possible uses, there is no need of touching the cream with the hands.
