Inhaled drugs via the lungs.

[mindovermatter]

I came across this ESPN article about how HGH is being legitimately researched to help in torn ACLs at the Univ Of Michigan via a grant from Mark Cuban. I then wondered if HGH could be inhaled? That led me to this old but very informative article. Thought I'd post it to remind everyone just how wide spread inhaled drugs can be if given a chance. My apologies if this has been posted before but it's a very interesting read.

Practically any drug can be fashioned to be inhalable in some fashion or another. It comes down to delivering an accurate does in a cost-effective manner. HGH requires only subcutaneous injection per week. It's very expensive and given the wastage associated with inhaling -- e.g. afrezza where only 40% of what is inhaled actually reaches a spot where the insulin can be absorbed -- it's not likely to be considered a good candidate for inhalation.
