The effect of ethanol on the habit and in vitro aerodynamic results of dry powder inhalation formulations containing ciprofloxacin hydrochloride

In the case of dry powder inhalation systems (DPIs), the development of carrier-free formulations has gained increased attention. Thereby, spray-drying is a promising technology and is widely used to produce carrier-free DPIs. Numerous works have been published about the co-spray-drying of active ingredients with various solid excipients and their effect on the physicochemical characteristics and aerodynamic properties of the formulations....
