Abstract: A method of producing a nicotine medicament for use in an inhaler comprises combining nicotine, a non-spheronized sugar and a liquid carrier including water to produce a flowable mixture and spray drying the flowable mixture at conditions to produce particles of the nicotine medicament suitable for delivery to the alveoli and lower airways of the person. Also disclosed is a nicotine medicament made by the method. The nicotine composition produced by this method is a composite particle suitable for tobacco replacement or withdrawal therapy.

Abstract: The present application discloses a pharmaceutical delivery system for delivering a desired amount of liquid in the form of droplets. The pharmaceutical delivery system comprises a container having resilient compressible walls of uniform thickness, an elongated neck, and a valveless dropper tip. The pharmaceutical delivery system dispenses liquid through an outlet orifice in the valveless dropper tip in a drop by drop manner, producing droplets of substantially uniform volume independent of the amount of pressure applied on the container.
