Pain management is provided by the intrapulmonary delivery of a pharmaceutically active pain relief formulation. The formulation is automatically released from a handheld, self-contained, portable device (1) comprised of a means (7) for automatically releasing a measured amount of drug into the inspiratory flow path of a patient in response to information obtained from a means (22) for analyzing the inspiratory flow of a patient. Patient compliance and accuracy in dosing are obtained by providing for automatic release in response to a measure inhalation profile. Abuse of narcotic formulations is avoided by providing a tamper resistant device which includes a variety of security features including a preprogrammed microprocessor (22) designed to avoid overdosing. |
