The present invention relates to the delivery of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) through an inhalation route. Specifically, it relates to aerosols containing NSAIDs that are used in inhalation therapy. In a composition aspect of the present invention, the aerosol comprises particles comprising at least 5 percent by weight of an NSAID. In a method aspect of the present invention, an NSAID is delivered to a mammal through an inhalation route. The method comprises: a) heating a composition, wherein the composition comprises at least 5 percent by weight of an NSAID, to form a vapor; and, b) allowing the vapor to cool, thereby forming a condensation aerosol comprising particles, which is inhaled by the mammal. In a kit aspect of the present invention, a kit for delivering an NSAID through an inhalation route to a mammal is provided which comprises: a) a composition comprising at least 5 percent by weight of an NSAID; and, b) a device that forms an NSAID aerosol from the composition, for inhalation by the mammal.
本发明涉及通过吸入途径输送非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)。具体而言,本发明涉及用于吸入治疗的含有非甾体抗炎药的气雾剂。在本发明的一个组合物方面,气雾剂包括含有至少 5%(按重量计)非甾体抗炎药的颗粒。在本发明方法的一个方面,通过吸入途径向哺乳动物提供非甾体抗炎药。该方法包括:a)加热组合物,其中组合物包含按重量计至少5%的非甾体抗炎药,以形成蒸气;b)使蒸气冷却,从而形成包含颗粒的凝结气溶胶,由哺乳动物吸入。在本发明的一个试剂盒方面,提供了一种通过吸入途径向哺乳动物递送非甾体抗炎药的试剂盒,该试剂盒包括:a) 一种组合物,按重量计包含至少 5% 的非甾体抗炎药;b) 一种装置,从组合物中形成非甾体抗炎药气溶胶,供哺乳动物吸入。
