A method and a needleless injection system for administering a medication. In order to simplify as far as possible the handling necessary for loading the injector with medication and thereby eliminate risks caused by a complex handling the method and system according to the invention provide loading of medication into a needleless injector device by means of a syringe prefilled with a medication, this loading step preferably including connecting the syringe to the injector device by means of a suitable coupling member or adapter and operating the syringe for transferring medication prefilled therein into the injector device. After this transfer the syringe and/or the coupling member or adapter are detached from the injector device, which is then ready to be operated for ejecting the loaded dosage of said medication from the injector device and thereby pass the selected dosage through the skin of an injection receiver.

Method and system for administering a medication

Pulmonary administration of Ciclosporin in orthorhombic crystal form (designated 'CY-A/X-III'), e.g. for the treatment of obstructive or inflammatory airways disease, e.g. asthma, as well as crystalline Ciclosporin, e.g. CY-A/X-III, in spheroidal particulate form, processes for its preparation and its pharmaceutical use, e.g. for pulmonary administration. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising CY-A/X-III and crystalline Ciclosporin, e.g. CY-A/X-III, in spheroidal particulate form as well as Ciclosporin in solution in aerosol propellants are also provided.

Ciclosporin form for pulmonary administration

The invention provides a hydrosol of a pharmacological active agent in an intravenous applicable, stabilised, pharmaceutically acceptable form, which form is suspended or is dry and re-suspendable in an aqueous medium. The hydrosol contains solid active agent particles, e.g. of dihydropyridines or cyclosporines.
