Impact of Drug Type on Selection of Atomizer Nozzle Particle Size -

2023-08-21

Pharmacists must consider the drug's physicochemical properties to optimize aerosol drug delivery.

Drug type influences the nozzle size required for optimal particle size distribution and efficient lung deposition.

Factors include surface tension and viscosity.

For example, drugs with low surface tension and low viscosity require larger nozzle openings for efficient deposition.

Pharmacies should consider drug type when selecting atomizer nozzles to improve the efficacy of aerosol drug delivery.
