ABSTRACT:
A method of treating human patients is provided by the intrapulmonary delivery of a pharmaceutically active hormone formulation. The formulation is automatically released from a hand-held, self-contained, portable device comprised of a means for automatically releasing a measured amount of drug into the inspiratory flow path of a patient in response to information obtained from a means for analyzing the inspiratory flow of a patient and after the patient is sent an audible or visual signal. Reproducible dosing is obtained by providing for automatic release in response to a measured inhalation profile. The overadministration of hormone formulations is avoided by providing a pre-programmed microprocessor designed to avoid overdosing.
