A method of administering a drug whereby a fine drug powder can be
accurately administered to a target site (in particular, a target site in
the body cavity) via fluidization and spraying with a gas by using a
micro tube. Concerning the administration mode, in particular, the drug
alone or a biopolymer is administered or the biopolymer is employed as a
carrier in the above method. More specifically speaking, a method of
administering a fine drug powder which comprises finely milling one or
more types fine particles of the drug and/or the biopolymer, blending
them each other, fluidizing the blend with a gas, then transporting the
fluidized matter in a micro tube by the gas stream and spraying the fine
drug powder from the tip of the micro tube toward the target site.
Further, an administration method which comprises concentrically
providing a capillary tube in the micro tube, supplying an aqueous
solution of the drug and/or the biopolymer from the capillary tube into
the gas stream and then mixing it with other fine particles of the drug
and/or the biopolymer under transportation by the gas.
