Researchers have developed an optimized mouthpiece design to aid efficient drug delivery to the lungs by reducing the amount of medication wasted as it passes through the mouthpiece of an aerosol inhaler. With current inhaler designs, only approximately 10 to 20 percent of asthma medications are delivered to the lungs. And, because the lungs provide a direct and effective route of entry for medications into the bloodstream, an optimized mouthpiece design will reduce medication waste and may provide reproducible delivery of future inhaled medications. http://www.physorg.com/news175363387.html Medicine & Health Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:40:03 EST news175363387 Months after a federal ban went into effect outlawing a propellant used in most rescue inhalers, some asthma sufferers insist that the replacement inhalers don't work and might even be harmful. http://www.physorg.com/news173557435.html Medicine & Health Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:30:01 EST news173557435 By marrying GPS technology with asthma rescue inhalers, University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher David Van Sickle hopes to better understand the environmental triggers of asthma attacks and improve the way people with asthma control their disease. http://www.physorg.com/news165225627.html Medicine & Health Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:00:55 EST news165225627
