Synonyms or meaning of Aerosol

“Aerosol” has two primary definitions in the context of pharmaceuticals and medicine:

1: It refers to a colloid dispersion where a solid or a liquid is dispersed in air. This can include natural phenomena like fog or man-made products like aerosol sprays.

2: In a more specific context, an aerosol is a product that is packaged under pressure and contains therapeutically active ingredients. These ingredients are released upon activation of an appropriate valve system. Aerosols are intended for topical application to the skin, as well as local application into the nose (nasal aerosols), mouth (lingual aerosols), or lungs (inhalation aerosols). These types of aerosols are commonly used in medical treatments, particularly for conditions affecting the respiratory system.
