Ofogh Darou Company, by utilizing the best ingredients and employing the most advanced equipment, has successfully produced Seritole in Iran. As the first and most fully equipped DPI (dry powder inhaler) production line in the country, the company has been able to introduce a product to the market that was previously only available through imports, which imposed significant costs on the healthcare system and patients.

The dedicated DPI production machinery at Ofogh Darou can measure the precise amount of active ingredient in each capsule with very high accuracy. This level of precision reflects a major advancement in the country’s pharmaceutical industry.

By leveraging advanced laboratory equipment and specialized staff training, Ofogh Darou has obtained accreditation from the Food and Drug Administration and, as the only collaborating laboratory in the field of respiratory products, is capable of performing all specialized tests and quality control procedures for these medications in Iran.

This achievement not only represents a significant step toward the country’s pharmaceutical self-sufficiency but also increases patients’ and physicians’ confidence in the quality and safety of domestically produced products.
