Two major hurdles to pulmonary Two major hurdles to pulmonary drug deliverydrug delivery

ANATOMICAL ANATOMICAL ::

- Particles must be 1-5ul to bypass nose and throat - Particles must be 1-5ul to bypass nose and throat

TECHNOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL ::

- To make particles of an inhalable size, most - To make particles of an inhalable size, most nebulizers and inhalers depend on compressed air, nebulizers and inhalers depend on compressed air, propellant, heat or ultrasound propellant, heat or ultrasound

- This creates a lot of air and not much drug - This creates a lot of air and not much drug moving at high momentummoving at high momentum
