Introduction:
Aerosols, these particles considered initially like "magic", are slowly delivering their secrets.
State Of Art:
For several years studies on the subject have increased and companies have maximised their efforts to improve the technology for transforming drugs into the optimal aerosol. Recently new systems have appeared on the market. Mesh nebulisers can reduce the inhalation time, metered dose inhalers have modified their formulations to improve the efficiency of drug deposition and dry powder inhalers require lower inspiratory flows.
Perspectives/Conclusions:
In the near future new systems using technologies of greater or lesser sophistication should appear on the market.

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs through the...
