吸入毒理学:行政途径

Although oral drug administration is the most common type of drug delivery, many patients prefer inhaled medicines, if possible, over injections or other more invasive delivery methods. Inhalation toxicology studies are becoming vital in assessing the safety and potential toxicity of inhaled drugs or chemicals asrespiratory diseasesincluding asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) also become more common.

Why You Might Want to Consider the Inhalation Route

  • 患者易用性=更好地采用和遵守。吸入的药物优选注射或其他侵入性方法。
  • 快速吸毒。肺的渗透膜允许快速给药和快速代谢到身体中以治疗快速发病症状。
  • Reduced cost impact on the healthcare system.掌上电脑和测量剂量吸入器都是标准的医疗技术,员工和家庭患者都已经熟悉,使其对医疗保健系统的低障碍和低成本影响。
  • New generation of inhaler devices and techniques.The 3rd generation of devices can now include engineered products, which can potentially reduce the drug volume needed to reach efficacy as well as side effects.
  • 技术设备进步。New devices have made impressive gains, including electronic feedback, volume monitoring, electrostatic charging, specialized nano-carriers and humidity / temperature compensated delivery.
  • 设备专利可能会延长产品寿命。即使在制药专利到期后,您也可以从设备上受益。
