Abstract

A multiple-dose powder inhaler is disclosed comprising an inhaler body defining a medicament container, an air channel, a mouthpiece, a rotatable metering drum with one or more peripheral dosing recesses and a dose counter for indicating the number of metered doses of medicament that have been dispensed from, or remain in, the medicament container. The inhaler is useful e.g. in the treatment of asthma.
