Dry Powder Inhalers: A Review
In the recent years pulmonary drug delivery system is found to be preferred route of administration for various drugs. It has been divided into 3 classes: Nebulizers, pMDI, DPI.DPI are used as an alternative to pMDI because pMDI contains propellant (CFC) which has ozone depletion characteristics. DPI delivers medication in the form of dry powder to lungs. DPI is formulated either as a carrier b...
متن کاملFilm Coating of Nifedipine Extended Release Pellets in a Fluid Bed Coater with a Wurster Insert
The objective of this work was to study the coating process of nifedipine extended release pellets using Opadry and Opadry II, in a fluid bed coater with a Wurster insert. The coating process was studied using a complete experimental design of two factors at two levels for each polymer. The variables studied were the inlet air temperature and the coating suspension flow rate. The agglomerate fr...
متن کاملFormoterol dry powder in asthma.
We read with interest the paper by Douglas and coworkers (July 1993;48,719-21) on the possible inheritance of sleep disturbed breathing. Investigating 40 first degree relatives of patients with sleep apnoeas, they found a high prevalence of sleep apnoeas/ hypopnoeas (25%), several times higher than the prevalence in a random sample of the British population (5%).' The authors concluded that a f...
متن کاملAssessing dry powder inhalers
To enable what would otherwise be impractical, invasive and potentially dangerous testing, and to remove the huge variation and costs associated with human subjects, it is common practice to test inhalation devices and formulations using in vitro test apparatus. Industry standard test conditions and relevant parameters have been devised and published by the regulatory authorities and within the...
متن کاملDry powder inhaler formulation.
A drug product combines pharmacologic activity with pharmaceutical properties. Desirable performance characteristics are physical and chemical stability, ease of processing, accurate and reproducible delivery to the target organ, and availability at the site of action. For the dry powder inhaler (DPI), these goals can be met with a suitable powder formulation, an efficient metering system, and ...
