Pulmonary Drug Delivery Systems
Pulmonary drug delivery systems are used to the treatment of various respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), delivering locally acting drugs directly to their site of action. Advantages of pulmonary drug delivery systems over oral drugs is the excellent capability of absorbing pharmaceuticals, due to the large absorptive surface area of lungs (approximately 70-140 m2 in adult humans having extremely thin absorptive mucosal membrane) and good blood supply.
