ABSTRACT

For ages, the pulmonary route has been utilised to treat a variety of respiratory disorders. The current evaluation covers every component of the pulmonary drug delivery system, as well as recent advancements. It deals with medicine delivery in serious diseases such as asthma, COPD, lung cancer, and cystic fibrosis. These conditions necessitated drug delivery via the pulmonary route for an extended period of time. The transport of drugs to the lungs is a novel and difficult field of pharmacological study. It is primarily used to treat airway disorders by delivering locally active medicines to the site of action. These drug delivery routes may provide benefits such as a tiny dose of medicine, less side reactions, and a quick commencement of effect. Oral drug administration can be replaced by pulmonary drug delivery. This article clarifies the concept of pulmonary medication delivery as well as recent developments in the field. Oral drug administration can be replaced by pulmonary drug delivery. This article clarifies the concept of pulmonary medication delivery as well as recent developments in the field.
