Pharmacy prepared inhaled unit dose meds

How do you supply non-commercially available unit doses of meds for inhalation like amikacin - parenteral or sterile oral syringe w/aux label, other?

I believe doses need to be prepared in sterile containers which leaves few options. I am aware of the 2018 ISMP article but this isn't specifically addressed, and there weren't many responses to this in an older MSOS thread but I bet a lot of us deal with this.

Thanks!
