Aerosolized formulations (5) are disclosed comprised of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a pharmaceutically active drug or detectably labeled compound, a sensory compound which is recognized by its distinct color, taste or smell even when present in a small amount, and a low concentration. Examples of such compounds include menthol, peppermint, cinnamon, vanilla flavors, and water soluble dyes. The compounds can be designed so that they are only detectable by a specific area of the tongue or seen under a certain wavelength of light. The degree of detection of the color, taste, or smell of the compound is an indication of the degree of success in the delivery of an aerosolized formulation to a patient. The formulation is preferably delivered from a device (40) which monitors, records information relating to the partient's respiratory movement, also scans, and analyzes the aerosol prior to inhalation. |
