Inhaled Drug's heart effects scrutinized in small safety trial

This early-stage study tested whether a single inhaled dose of Staccato Loxapine affects the heart's electrical activity in 48 healthy adults. Participants received the drug, a placebo, and a control drug in random order, and their heart rhythms were measured. The goal was to check for heart-related side effects, not to treat any disease. The study found no major heart risks at the tested dose.
