Pulmonary drug delivery Sample Clauses

Pulmonary drug delivery. Local delivery of drugs to the lower respiratory tract by aerosol inhalation is highly desirable in patients with pulmonary diseases like asthma (Xxxxxxxxx, 1999), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or cystic fibrosis (Xxxx et al., 1995). This route of administration is characterised by the rapid response which is achieved by the delivery of the drug in close proximity to its intended site of action. In addition, the inhaled route allows the local administration of smaller doses compared to delivery by the oral route, thereby reducing the potential incidence of adverse systemic effects and reducing drug costs (Xxx et al. 2005).
