(author), Petersson, Gunilla (author), Folestad, Staffan (author), Chew, Jia Wei (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)For dry powder inhaled formulations, good flow behaviour is vital in re-dispersing the powder. However, inhaled drug powders with a particle size below 10 µm are classified as highly cohesive materials with poor flow characteristics. Here we demonstrate how to alter the flow properties of micronized budesonide powders by depositing different...journal article 2023
