Aptar Pharma discusses trends and benefits of nasal drug delivery

Improving patient outcomes is a defining goal for pharmaceutical companies but a number of factors influence such outcomes including patient compliance. Nasal drug delivery scores highly with respect to patient acceptability offering users ease of use, safety and comfort, and portability. This article considers how these inherent attractions are shaping the increased uptake and development of nasal drug delivery. Key trends include the use of single and dual dose systems for the delivery of emergency medication – either via self-administration or by carers (without professional health care supervision) – and of connected devices for training and remote healthcare supervision. The potential to overcome the Blood Brain Barrier via nasal drug delivery is also an important focus.
