Abstract

Several studies have corroborated that clarithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, has antinflammatory effects in respiratory diseases. The formulation and characterisation of a clarithromycin pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI) solutions was investigated. The novel solution pMDI had suitable aerosol properties for lung delivery. It demonstrated to be non toxic at the administered doses and had in vitro inhibitory effects on mucus secretion of Calu-3 cells.
