Dry-Powder Inhalation Formulation: Balancing Performance and Manufacturability
Source:
Pharma's Almanac, Q4 2016, 23 October 2016
There is growing demand for dry-powder inhalation formulations of drugs to treat both respiratory and systemic diseases. Composite particle technology is allowing the development of more efficient formulations, even for challenging molecules. Spray drying is an enabling technology for composite particle preparation. Formulators must be aware, however, of the tradeoffs between properties that improve aerodynamic performance in the lung but negatively impact process yields or throughputs.
