Delivering medicines
Description
Few of us like to receive medicine via a needle, but for people with chronic illnesses, injections are a daily reality. Maryanne Demasi discovers that new technology is helping make drug delivery as simple as taking a deep breath. 'Respire' vibrates drugs, vaccines and other therapeutics, into a mist of particles, just the right size to be absorbed by the lungs.
