INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Inquiries In Inhalation, Part 2: Having A Nose For Innovation
In this follow-up article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden extends his Part 1 discussion of therapeutic targets for inhaled drugs and biologics into specific aspects of delivery innovation. Among the key considerations are particle engineering, device usability, and the coordination across the ecosystem of inhalation delivery design, development, and distribution. The coverage of advances in device technologies includes inhalers, nebulizers, and nasal sprays.
