Dry-powder inhalation (DPI) is a major drug delivery technology for the treatment of respiratory diseases and increasingly for systemic drug delivery. Providing a uniform dose in a portable, easy-to-use system, capsule-based DPI is a simple and cost-effective way to deliver medication via the pulmonary route.
