Abstract
For thousands of years, the lungs have served as a route for drug administration. Pulmonary drug delivery is an important research area that impacts the treatment of illnesses such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other diseases. Physicians and health professionals have a wide variety of devices and formulation combinations to target specific cells or regions of the lungs, avoid the lung’s clearance mechanisms, and retain the drugs within the lung for extended periods. In recent years, several techniques have been developed to improve the quality of pulmonary drug delivery systems without affecting their stability.
