10
Modelling and Simulation Group, School of Pharmacy Nasal Delivery Advantages –Avoidance of injections –Avoidance of first pass metabolism –Socially acceptable CF rectal –Sterile technique not required
11
Modelling and Simulation Group, School of Pharmacy Nasal Delivery (cont) Limitations –Volume –Run off –Formulation/irritation issues –Generally requires drug with good nasal bioavailability
12
Modelling and Simulation Group, School of Pharmacy What circumstances promote good the utility of a drug for nasal administration Drug Characteristics –Small molecular weight –High Octanol Water Coefficient Patient Characteristics –High nasal blood flow Formulation Characteristics –High Potency Small volume for dose
