This document summarizes pulmonary drug delivery systems. It discusses the anatomy and physiology of the lungs and factors that affect drug deposition. It describes advantages like direct delivery to the site of action that reduces needed doses. Current technologies discussed include nebulizers, pressurized metered-dose inhalers, and dry powder inhalers. Challenges from mucus, clearance and barriers are addressed. The conclusion is that pulmonary delivery directly targets lungs for local and systemic effects, though modifications are still needed to overcome physiological limitations.
