The invention relates to methods for producing a medicinal aerosol. The problem of developing an effective method of generating a medication in aerosol form is solved by a method of generating a medication in aerosol form that comprises delivering heated air to a starting material of a medication in the form of a multi-layered tablet, evaporating the starting material of a medication with the subsequent nucleation of the resulting supersaturated steam and the growth of the formed aerosol particles by condensation, and delivering the resulting aerosol into the lungs of a patient. According to the method, the starting material of a medication is in the form of a multi-layered, e.g. three-layered, tablet, the top and bottom layers of which are formed by a medication, and the middle layer of which is comprised of compressed cellulose, the adhesive properties of which allow a medication which is initially in either a solid or a liquid state, or which transitions from a solid into a liquid state as a result of heating, to be retained during the generation of an aerosol. The advantageous effect of the proposed method is achieved in that the starting material of a medication, i.e. the multi-layered tablet, makes it possible to effectively sublimate a broad range of medications in both solid and liquid states, including medications which melt when heated. Advantages: strict dosing of a medication transformed into an aerosol; more effective conversion of the starting material of a medication into an aerosol.
