Drug Delivery to Respiratory Tract (Ellis Horwood Series in Biomedicine) - D. Ganderton, T. Jones (Editors)
in den Warenkorb In treating diseases of the respiratory tract, the direct administration of drugs has great advantages in terms of clinical efficiency. This book reviews the most important recent developments in drug delivery systems to the respiratory tract. Starting with a detailed description of lung strucure and function, successive chapters investigate the usefulness of the pulmonary presention of beta-agonists, steroids and chromoglycate, and explain metabolic function and susceptibility to chemical damage from the environment, showing that the lung is far from being a passive organ. Further contributions demonstrate the importance of mucus in humidification, particle capture and particle removal before attention is given to the practical problems of drug delivery and the commercially viable devices available to the pharmaceutical technologist: the metered dose inhaler, the powder inhaler, and the jet nebuliser. The final chapter examines the future role of intranasal delivery systems, based upon the principles described. |
