Sandy Munro, Vectura’s SVP Pharmaceutical Development, was one of the experts invited to share best practices in designing, manufacturing, and scaling up dry powder inhaler and metered dose inhaler drug–device combination products for inhalation drug delivery, in PharmTech’s October eBook edition.

Another area that is beginning to gain traction is connected device technologies for all delivery platforms… where the issue is often around the patient remembering to take their medicine regularly.
