As an alternative to the conventional metered-dose inhaler, dry powder inhalers (DPIs) offer proven benefits. These benefits, combined with an increased interest among medical and pharmaceutical researchers in utilizing the lung as the target of drug delivery, have driven a surge in the number of commercial opportunities for DPI products. What was once a delivery system only for respiratory drugs has now become a means for delivering medications for diabetes, pain management, influenza, and cystic fibrosis, as well as vaccines.
