A method for depositing a coating comprising a polymer and pharmaceutical agent on a substrate, comprising the following steps: discharging at least one pharmaceutical agent in a therapeutically desirable morphology in dry powder form through a first orifice； discharging at least one polymer in dry powder form through a second orifice； depositing the polymer and/or pharmaceutical particles onto the substrate, wherein an electrical potential is maintained between the substrate and the pharmaceutical and/or polymer particles, thereby forming the coating； and sintering the coating under conditions that do not substantially modify the morphology of the pharmaceutical agent.
