Optimization of Carrier-Based Dry Powder Inhaler Performance: A Review by Tanu Mehta, Saeed Najafian, Komalkumar Patel, Justin Lacombe, Bodhisattwa Chaudhuri

“…To reach the small airways of the deep lung, the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) particles need to have an aerodynamic diameter of 1–5 μm to avoid impaction and particle sedimentation in the upper respiratory tract, and due to this small particle size, the powder becomes highly cohesive resulting in poor flow. Therefore, API is usually blended with a coarse carrier to improve flowability, and due to its large size, it is more fluidizable than the micronized drug. …”
