Aerosol Inhalation

Aerosol inhalation is a type of medication delivery system in which a drug is delivered as a fine mist or spray, inhaled directly into the lungs. This dosage form is used for various respiratory conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory infections. The medication is stored in a pressurized canister and dispensed through a device, such as a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) or a nebulizer. The aerosol inhalation provides fast and effective delivery of the drug to the lungs, allowing for quick relief of symptoms. This dosage form is also convenient and easy to use, making it a popular choice for many patients. However, proper technique and use of the inhaler is important for ensuring maximum efficacy and minimizing side effects.
