Is Curosurf (poractant alfa) available in Japan?

Curosurf is marketed as a surfactant treatment (poractant alfa) for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. The provided information does not state whether Curosurf is currently available in Japan or under what brand name it is sold there.

How can I confirm if it’s sold in Japan (and what to ask for)?

To check availability in Japan, look for:
- The active ingredient name: poractant alfa
- Japanese brand names or approvals for neonatal surfactant products
- Whether it’s stocked through neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) or hospitals

If you share where you are checking from (e.g., a specific hospital, pharmacy, or distributor website), I can help you interpret what you find.

Is there a Japanese alternative if Curosurf isn’t available?

Japan may use other animal-derived lung surfactant products approved locally for neonatal care. If Curosurf is not stocked, hospitals typically switch to the approved alternatives available through their procurement channels.

What details do you need most: current stock or approval status?

People usually mean one of two things:
- Is it legally approved/registered in Japan?
- Is it actually in stock at a given time and hospital?

Tell me which you need, and (if possible) whether you mean “Curosurf” specifically or “poractant alfa” in general.
