BT_GS 1.23 Describe the physical properties of inhalational agents, including the:
· Principles of vaporisation of inhalational agents

· Structure-activity relationships of inhalational agents
NOTE
Although there are no SAQs on this topic directly, the physical properties are important to understand inhalational pharmacokinetics and the principles of vaporisers.
