Abstract
A pneumatic inhaler that is able to deliver a controlled burst or dose of aerosol from a reservoir of liquid medication. The inhaler is suitable for the aerosolization of liquid medication that is in solution or suspension form. The inhaler is also ideal for the delivery of unique and specialty liquid medications in short aerosol bursts because no additional formulation development is needed and has the further advantage of being able to deliver multiple medications, as mixed by the patient, doctor, or pharmacist, with a single burst at a repeatable output. Because medication and propellant are not mixed until aerosolization occurs, the inhaler is appropriate for more pharmaceutical agents than the current inhalers available and at a substantial cost savings.
