Solid particulate drug compounds can also be delivered to the lung via aerosoUza-tion of aqueous suspensions. One commercial product that is designed to be used this way is Pulmicort Respules , an aqueous suspension of budesonide marketed by AsnaZeneca. [Pg.89]

In a system such as Pulmicort Respules , the average particle size of the mi-cronized budesonide is approximately the same as the average particle size of the aerosolized liquid droplets (ca. 3-5pm). Since the suspension is very dilute (approximately 1/2,(XX) to 1/4,(XX)), delivery efficiency of the budesonide is likely to be poor (only 1 droplet in 2,(XX) or 4,(XX) will contain active agent).
