Abstract

An inhalation device is provided by means of which material in powder form can be inhaled. The device comprises a body (55) defining a reservoir (56) for medicaments in powder form, an outlet (57) through which a user can inhale and a dosing member (53) with at least one metering recess (65) formed therein. The dosing member (53) is moveable between a position in which the at least one metering recess (65) communicates with the reservoir (56) to receive a dose of powder therefrom and a position in which the at least one metering recess (65) communicates with the outlet (57) to permit the user to inhale the dose. The at least one metering recess (65) is formed in a face of the dosing member (53), the said face being mounted in contact against a similar mating face (60) of the body (55) at the lower end of the reservoir (56). At least one moveable weight may be incorporated within the device, adapted to strike an anvil surface when the device is shaken. <IMAGE>
