  • Patent number: 5320094
    Abstract: A method of delivering a protein, in particular insulin, to the lungs. The method is characterized in that an aerosolized mist of small particles is produced in an associated medicament delivery chamber, the distance from the chamber to the patient's mouth is set to slow the speed of aerosol particles entering the mouth and the flow rate through the chamber is regulated to a low rate of less than about 30 liters per minute. It has been found that administering insulin in accordance with the invention may advantageously produce a penetration of medication into the lungs of about 90%.
