Abstract: Pulmonary, nasal, and nose-to-brain diseases involve clinical approaches, such as bronchodilators,
inhaled steroids, oxygen therapy, antibiotics, antihistamines, nasal steroids, decongestants,
intranasal drug delivery, neurostimulation, and surgery to treat patients. However, systemic
medicines have serious adverse effects, necessitating the development of inhaled formulations that
allow precise drug delivery to the airways with minimum systemic drug exposure. Particle size, surface
charge, biocompatibility, drug capacity, and mucoadhesive are unique chemical and physical
features that must be considered for pulmonary and nasal delivery routes due to anatomical and permeability
considerations. The traditional management of numerous chronic diseases has a variety of
drawbacks. As a result, targeted medicine delivery systems that employ nanotechnology enhancer
drug efficiency and optimize the overall outcome are created. The pulmonary route is one of the
most essential targeted drug delivery systems because it allows the administering of drugs locally
and systemically to the lungs, nasal cavity, and brain. Furthermore, the lungs' beneficial characteristics,
such as their ability to inhibit first-pass metabolism and their thin epithelial layer, help treat
several health complications. The potential to serve as noninvasive self-administration delivery sites
of the lung and nasal routes is discussed in this script. New methods for treating respiratory and some
systemic diseases with inhalation have been explored and highlight particular attention to using specialized
nanocarriers for delivering various drugs via the nasal and pulmonary pathways. The design
and development of inhaled nanomedicine for pulmonary, nasal, and respiratory medicine applications
is a potential approach for clinical translation.
