Nasal delivery systems offer quick absorption, low probability of overdose, and increased patient compliance

 


Administration of pharmaceutical drugs through the nasal passage, for achieving quick absorption of medicine is otherwise known as oral drug delivery systems.

The most common type of drug delivery system is the syringe. The syringe can be either in the form of a needle or capillaries and can provide the drug directly into the patient's nose. The process of administration of medication involves the needle puncturing into the nasal lining and injecting the medicine. The needle is made of soft material and is often coated with a lubricant.

Another type of inhaler uses compressed air to produce a vapor, which is then inhaled by the user. A sprayer is another popularly used inhaler. It contains an aerosol solution of medication that releases it into the air. There are several forms of these inhalers available in the market. Oral devices like the inhaler and the pen are used to administer the medication. The oral inhaler works faster than the syringe, thus providing the patients with fast results. The main benefit of an inhaler is to provide quick relief from respiratory symptoms like cough, fever, and chest tightness.

These aerosol delivery devices are generally found to be more effective than the syringe since the aerosol solution has fewer chances to be absorbed by the body tissues. They are also very convenient and safe to use. The aerosol solution is usually produced using a spray gun or some sort of a machine.

The inhalation device is considered to be one of the most important parts of any Nasal Drug Delivery System.

Nasal spray dispensers are usually used when patients require more than a single dose of medicine. There are different types of nasal spray available in the market, each with its own mechanism and properties to offer rapid relief.
