In this study, we examined the correlation between anatomical dimensions, spray administration parameters, pressure drop across 40 pediatric nasal cavities, and in vitro posterior drug delivery (PDD) using Nasacort ALLERGY 24HR and FLONASE SENSIMIST nasal suspensions sprays, with different nozzle and actuation designs.
