چکیده

Therefore, any differences in lung deposition need to be supported by clinical data to determine whether they are clinically relevant. Indeed, there are data which show no difference, in terms of improvements in lung function, between the MDI and Turbuhaler in multiple-dose studies with ipatropium bromide [3], terbutaline [4, 5] and budesonide [6] as well as single-dose and cumulative dose studies with terbutaline [7, 8]. It is clear, therefore, that caution has to be taken in the interpretation of the clinical relevance of lung deposition studies, both in terms of extrapolation to other drugs in the same device and also different drugs and devices.

Lung deposition of budesonide from Turbuhaler is twice that from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler P-MDI.

The pulmonary and systemic availability of budesonide after inhalation from a dry powder inhaler, Turbuhaler, and from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (P-MDI) were compared in healthy volunteers. Two different methods were used to assess pulmonary availability: 1) calculated from the systemic availability corrected for an oral availability of 13% (n = 24); and 2) after blocking of gastrointe...

Scintigraphic comparison of budesonide deposition from two dry powder inhalers.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), used in metered dose inhalers (MDIs), have been identified as being deleterious to the environment leading to a ban on their production. Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are a widely used alternative to MDIs. One disadvantage of DPIs is that in vivo lung deposition can be influenced by the patient's inspiratory flow rate. The ASTA Medica multi-dose dry powder inhaler (AM-M...

Lung deposition of budesonide from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler attached to a spacer.

The absolute systemic availability and pulmonary deposition of budesonide inhaled from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) attached to a Nebuhaler spacer was determined in 15 healthy subjects. The study was of an open cross-over design. Each subject randomly received three single doses of budesonide on separate days: 0.5 mg given intravenously and 1.0 mg (0.2 mg x 5) by inhalation from a ...

A multicentre comparison of the efficacy of terbutaline Turbuhaler and salbutamol pressurized metered dose inhaler in hot, humid regions.

Twenty seven adults and 20 children with previously diagnosed stable asthma, using a salbutamol pressurized metered dose inhaler (P-MDI) and living in Cairns, Townsville and Southport, Queensland, Australia participated in a randomized, open-label cross-over comparison of terbutaline administered via Turbuhaler and salbutamol administered via P-MDI. The aim of the study was to compare the clini...

Lung deposition of budesonide inhaled via Turbuhaler: a comparison with terbutaline sulphate in normal subjects.

We wanted to evaluate whether lung deposition of budesonide and terbutaline sulphate differs, and to determine lung deposition of budesonide inhaled at different peak inspiratory flows, through Turbuhaler. Lung deposition of budesonide, a lipophilic substance, and of terbutaline sulphate, a hydrophilic substance, was therefore compared, after administration via an inspiratory flow-driven, multi...
