Nasal Drug Repositioning

Aptar Pharma is a world leader in nasal drug delivery. We specialize in reformulating existing drugs into nasally administered sprays or powders, offering a faster and less risky development process compared to new drug development. This approach, known as drug repositioning, or drug repurposing can extend the life of mature drugs and has benefits such as rapid onset of action, reduced side effects and non-invasive administration. Aptar Pharma’s nasal drug delivery systems deliver precise dosing and are easy to use.

High-Performance Spray in A Refillable Format

Aptar Beauty has adapted its best-selling VP4 fragrance pump to support the new Eau de Parfum Daisy Wild by Coty brand Marc Jacobs. This custom solution features a tailor-made, snap-on aluminum collar combined with our high-performing screw-on pump and dip tube that is customized to represent the green ‘stems’ of the flowers adorning the cap. Additionally, Daisy Wild boasts a custom neck finish that allows easy refilling and ensures an airtight closure. At Luxe Pack Monaco, this solution won the 2024 Formes De Luxe Award in the Dispensing Category.

APF  FuturityTM

Aptar Pharma’s APF  FuturityTM is the first completely recyclable nasal spray pump for preservative free applications on the market. This solution answers the growing need for more recyclable drug product packaging solutions. It uses only plastic materials and contains no metal parts, allowing for a CO2 emission savings of up to 37%*. Equally important, the change in design does not reduce the performance or microbiological integrity of the product, delivering precise and consistent doses of liquid preservative free formulation every time.

NARCAN® Nasal Spray

Aptar Pharma played a pivotal role in developing a nasal spray delivery device for NARCAN®, an antidote for opioid overdose that can easily be administered quickly by anyone, anywhere. Using Aptar’s Unidose nasal spray system, first-responders can administer the life-saving treatment rather than going through the lengthy multi-step process of fiddling with a syringe and a needle. This product is the first U.S. FDA-approved nasally administered, needle-free, ready-to use medication that can stop or reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

Our flow control valve provides a clean, convenient experience for consumers while minimizing product waste. Consumers have shown a clear preference in this packaging format which revolutionized the way condiment aisles look today.
