NEBULISERS: TIME TO REINVENT THE WHEEL

Dr John N Pritchard

NEBULISERS: TIME TO REINVENT THE WHEEL

John Pritchard discusses the history of the nebuliser, its fall in popularity with the advent of DPIs and pMDIs, and its current resurgence due to the success of the mesh nebuliser, continuing on to how changing the development paradigm to utilise nebuliser technology more effectively can have significant benefits.

NASAL DRUG DELIVERY VIA THE ORAL ROUTE USING A PMDI

Laurent Vecellio, Déborah Le Pennec and Alain Regard, Technology Product Manage discuss a study Nemera has funded into the retronose concept, using a pMDI to deliver to the nasal cavity via the oral route during exhalation through the nose.

PIPELINE TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN PULMONARY DELIVERY

Dr Gunilla Petersson

PIPELINE TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN PULMONARY DELIVERY

Gunilla Petersson provides an overview of the inhalables sector from a pharma perspective, covering the three major device types – DPIs, pMDIs and nebulisers.

VARIABILITY IN CASCADE IMPACTION: SOURCES, IMPACT AND STRATEGIES FOR REDUCTION

Copley Scientific

VARIABILITY IN CASCADE IMPACTION: SOURCES, IMPACT AND STRATEGIES FOR REDUCTION

Mark Copley considers cascade impaction as a method for determining the aerodynamic particle size distribution of orally inhaled drug products, and how techniques to improve air flow control and semi-automation of the process can significantly reduce the variability involved.

MANUFACTURING DPIS: AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE

MANUFACTURING DPIS: AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE

Pietro Pirera and Stefano Crivellaro discuss the rising prominence of the DPI in inhalable drug delivery, how this has been facilitated by industrial filling technologies and how dosators in particular provide high-precision industrial-scale filling.
