Respiratory drug delivery is a significant new trend, offering clinical benefits, dosage control, and patient convenience. Integrating sorbent technologies into dry powder inhalation devices will preserve the quality and safety of pharmaceutical formulations and ensure that the device functions accurately and effectively each time it is used. A new generation of desiccants—coated solid format (CSF) sorbents—is particularly well suited for DPI applications because they significantly increase the level of functional desiccation per unit volume. Through condensed density technology, CSF sorbents are able to deliver twice the moisture protection in the same dimensional space as a typical loose-fill desiccant. CSF sorbents can be made from silica gel, activated carbon, or a combination of both.
