About Inhalation Product Manufacturing
Inhalation product manufacturing combines pharmaceutical formulation with device engineering. The drug must be delivered as aerosol particles in the 1-5 micron range for deep lung deposition. Three main platforms exist: metered-dose inhalers (MDIs, propellant-based), dry powder inhalers (DPIs, breath-actuated), and nebulizer solutions/suspensions (converted to aerosol by the nebulizer device).
Particle engineering is the core competency. Micronization (jet milling), spray drying, and engineered particle technologies control the aerodynamic particle size that determines drug deposition in the lungs. CDMOs with in-house particle engineering capabilities can optimize the formulation-device interaction that ultimately determines clinical efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the manufacturing differences between MDIs, DPIs, and nebulizers?+
MDI manufacturing involves: drug micronization, suspension or solution in propellant (HFA-134a or HFA-227), pressure filling, and valve crimping. DPI manufacturing involves: drug micronization or spray drying, optional blending with lactose carrier, capsule or blister filling. Nebulizer solution manufacturing involves: sterile or non-sterile aqueous formulation, aseptic filling into unit-dose vials or multi-dose bottles. Each requires different specialized equipment and expertise.
