We have decades of experience and scientific knowledge in ENT solutions, which enable us to deliver innovative and effective nasal solutions for both local and systemic therapies.

Delivers accurate two metered nasal doses – every time
Our Bidose (BDS) system is applicable for intranasal therapies where very precise amounts of active CNS drug formulation is required. They reliably and accurately deliver their full metered doses with reproducible spray performance.
Two shot nasal dosage is ideal in nasal vaccine administration, with one shot in each nostril. It’s also ideal for crisis treatments with the second dose option available as a back-up.
The Bidose has an integrated dose indicator to assure patients of the doses used and to indicate the remaining doses in the device.
The integrated dose indicator helps patients and doctors alike to measure dose compliance.

Intuitive and ready-to-use system
Bidose (BDS) is simple to use by patients, caregivers and HCPs, and is ready-to-use, with no priming or shaking required.
Additionally, the Bidose is a very intuitive system, so there is no special training needed, which is a big advantage in crisis situations.
Ideal device for your drug repurposing projects
Drug repurposing can help you extend the lifecycle of your brand, respond to unmet needs and offer more patient-friendly solutions.
Aptar Pharma has vast experience in repurposing existing drugs for nasal delivery, especially injectable drugs, making them simpler and more convenient to use. Some examples of this can be found in the Unidose (UDS) section.
Nasal administration of drugs offers fast onset of action and relief of symptoms. Drugs delivered nasally enter the brain directly via the nasal mucosa and bypass the blood-brain barrier.
