Intranasal Drugs: An Alternate Route of Administration
The intranasal drugs delivery is widely accepted as effective and non-invasive option for the local and systemic delivery of several types of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Majority of such formulations are designed to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD), asthma and other respiratory diseases. Interestingly, over the past few years, drug developers focused on non-respiratory diseases have also shifted their attention towards intranasal drug formulations. This can be attributed to ease of delivery, drug bioavailability enhancement and by-pass of first-pass metabolism offered by this Intranasal drugs delivery. Presently, intranasal drugs are being developed for a wide range of therapeutic areas, including Parkinson’s disease, hypertension, migraine and major depressive disorder.
