Abstract: An ampoule made of plastics material, for liquid or suspension pharmaceuticals, has a reservoir linked to a removable head by a channel in a neck portion. The channel has a trap, thus located between its reservoir and the head, in the form of an elongated restriction and/or a bend to trap liquid or suspension which may settle during storage, and prevent either reaching the head.

Abstract: A nebulizer formulation comprises particles of size 0.5-3 microns obtained by crystallization of beclomethasone diproprionate monohydrate in the presence of ultrasound.

Abstract: Ampoules made of plastics material and containing 0.5 to 5 ml of a pharmaceutical formulation are sealed, together with an oxygen scavenger, within a pouch.

Abstract: The present invention is an aerosol inhalation interface, and a method for its use. The device delivers a flow of aerosol medication to a patient breathing tidally by creating a medication rich environment proximal to the nose and mouth of the patient, while the patient is in a reclining position. The device, which is suspended above the patient's nose and mouth, is comprised of an aerosol generator, which generates medicated particles; a containment region, into which the generator discharges the medicated particles; a downwardly projecting outlet sleeve, which is connected to the containment region and channels the particles from the containment region to create a medication rich environment proximal to the nose and mouth of the patient; and an air movement deflector, which inhibits the dispersion of the particles and disturbance of the medication rich environment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nebulizer having a downwardly facing aerosol outlet that is structurally configured so as to produce aerosol mist in a downward direction and that delivers a downwardly directed flow of medicated aerosol mist for a period of time. That is to say, a downdraft nebulizer.
