Pharmaceutical aerosols offer a versatile and effective means of drug delivery,
particularly for respiratory conditions. This review provides an overview of the formulation
and characterization of pharmaceutical aerosols, focusing on key aspects such as propellants,
active ingredients, and excipients. The importance of aerosol formulation in achieving
optimal drug delivery is discussed, along with the challenges faced in this field, including the
development of stable aerosol suspensions and environmentally friendly propellants.
Emerging trends and technologies, such as nanoparticle-based aerosols and smart delivery
systems, are also highlighted. Additionally, potential advancements in aerosol
characterization, including advanced imaging techniques and in silicomodeling, are explored.
By addressing these challenges and embracing new technologies, the future of
pharmaceutical aerosols holds great promise for enhancing drug delivery efficiency and
patient outcomes.
