The present invention relates to a pressure reducer for delivering drugs to a patient and the corresponding method of manufacture, said pressure reducer for delivering drugs to a patient comprising: a duct (9) with an inlet (11) and an outlet (13), a first body (1) with a first surface (5), and a second body (3) with a second surface (6) directly contacting the first body (1). One of the surfaces (5, 6) has a recess (7) such that a duct (9) is defined between both surfaces. Both bodies are attached to one another by means of a continuous attachment line running on both sides of the duct (9). The method of manufacture comprises a laser welding step in which the first body (1) is welded to the second body (3) by means of a welding seam extending along both sides of the duct.
