Converging trends in nasal delivery
The intranasal route of administration is commonly used to treat various therapeutic areas. As a matter of fact, nasal delivery is an attractive option for locally acting medications as well as for systemic therapies which may vary from benign to serious health conditions. The nose anatomy allows us to administer the medications systemically or locally by targeting the right area for drug deposition in the nose to eventually treat certain conditions.
For instance, a nasal spray could be used to manage several chronic or acute pathologies topically such as allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and nasal congestion. Indeed, the dynamic number of pipelines via the nasal route for systemic or nose-to-brain applications has grown over the years, as the nasal route is not invasive, and does not require healthcare professionals’ intervention. With the advantage of nose physiology, even emergency and crisis could be addressed with nasal delivery.
