Summary: | The invention provides exemplary methods and apparatus for aerosolizing a pharmaceutical formulation contained within a receptacle. In one method, a metered amount of a pressurized gas is provided, with the pressurized gas previously being in equilibrium with a liquid. The metered gas is released t o create a high pressure gas stream. The high pressure gas stream is flowed through an aerosolization mechanism to extract the pharmaceutical formulatio n from the receptacle and to disperse the pharmaceutical formulation within th e gas stream to form an aerosol. |
