The present invention relates to an inhaler device for delivering a dose of medicament in dry powder form from a container to a patient in need thereof. The inhaler comprises first and second airflow paths () which are arranged such that during inhalation, a capsule () having a longitudinal axis and first and second end sections () delimiting the capsule on opposing ends located in a capsule chamber () performs an oscillating movement in the capsule chamber parallel to its longitudinal axis between first and second sidewall portions () of the capsule chamber.

Dry powder inhaler

A metered dose inhaler () for dispensing aerosol doses comprises an actuation housing () adapted to receive a canister (). The canister () is configured to move from a rest position to an activation position in which a valve () of the canister (), positioned at a valve end () of the canister (), is depressed against a bottom portion of the actuation housing such that an aerosol dose is released. The inhaler () further comprises a mechanical dose () counter comprising an indicator member which is constructed and arrangement to undergo a predetermined count-indicating motion when an aerosol dose is released. Moreover, the inhaler () comprises a triggering unit () for triggering at least one electrical switch () when the canister () is moved from the rest position to the activation position whereby an electrical signal is generated. Also part of the inhaler () is a processing unit for processing the signal generated by the switch () upon being triggered.

Inhaler

The present invention relates to an inhaler device for delivering a dose of medicament in dry powder form from a container to a patient in need thereof. The inhaler comprises a swirl chamber in which particles of the medicament entrained in an airflow swirl upon inhalation thereby breaking up the agglomerates into finest dispersed powder.
