Electrical condensation aerosol device

A drug device for producing an alprazolam condensation aerosol by thermal vaporization of alprazolam comprising:

• a disposable cartridge (200);
• and
• a handheld medical device (100), comprising:
• a) one or more air inlets (107);
• b) one or more air outlets (103);
• c) one or more batteries (105) to provide electric current;
• d) one or more connectors to electrically connect the device (100) to the disposable cartridge (200) comprising an alprazolam composition (210) coated on a foil substrate (209);
• and
• e) one or more electrical current delivery devices (106) to control the release of electric current to the disposable cartridge (200);
• said air inlets (107) and air outlets (103) defining an airway;
• at least one of the air outlets (103) being configured as a housing to attach said disposable cartridge (200);
• said electrical current delivery devices (106) being configured to drive a precise electrical current profile to the foil substrate (209) of the disposable cartridge (200) to affect electrical resistive heating at a rate that achieves a precise temperature profile with a controllable ramp-up to a target temperature and heating rate;
• and
• the temperature profile is suitable to vaporize a therapeutically effective amount of alprazolam composition (210) coated on the foil substrate (209) of the cartridge (200) within a period of 3 seconds or less followed by condensation inside the cartridge of the resulting vapor to form alprazolam aerosol particles wherein the one or more connectors and the foil substrate (209) are electrically connected through a printed circuit board (211) or a flex circuit (207).
