The article presents a study which investigates the supercritical fluid (SCF) engineered budesonide powder for respiratory delivery system using the nebulisers. The study uses the scanning electron microscope to identify the morphology and appearance of particles based on the SCF process. Results show the importance of SCF budesonide particles than the micronised drug powders.
