A method of using a fluid dispenser unit having a reservoir and a piston that slides in the reservoir. The unit includes an extractor head secured to the reservoir to suck fluid to be dispensed into the reservoir, and a spray head assembled on the extractor head to spray the fluid out from the reservoir. The method includes the steps of sucking a fluid to be dispensed into the reservoir through the extractor head; assembling the spray head on the extractor head; and spraying the fluid through the spray head. The step of sucking up a fluid to be dispensed includes a first step of extracting a fluid, such as a solvent, from an extraction reservoir, and a second step of mixing the fluid with a first substance, such as a powder or a lyophilisate, so as to form the fluid to be dispensed.

A wearable aroma emitting device housing a refillable, removable atomizer spray bottle. The device comprising a circular tubular housing that can be impregnated with aromatic substance and emanate therefrom. An elastic band with an attached pocket is located within the chamber of the tubular housing. Alternatively, the tubular housing can be made of elasticized material. The pocket houses the atomizer spray bottle which can be filled with fragrance or scent. The pocket opening is covered with overlapping elasticized material attached to the tubular housing, which allows easy access to the atomizer spray bottle. The aroma device can be worn on the wrist; when the atomizer spray bottle is removed, it can be worn in the hair for scent. In another embodiment of the present invention, an ornamental three dimensional stuffed structure is located on a portion of the tubular housing. The atomizer spray bottle is housed within the stuffed structure.

The present invention provides for a method for the treatment of a respiratory disease, disorder, or condition resulting from a viral infection in a subject, such as a pulmonary viral infection, the method comprising the step of administering to said subject a medically active liquid in nebulized form by inhalation, wherein the medically active liquid comprises an inhalable corticosteroid (ICS) and wherein the medically active liquid is administered in nebulized form using an inhalation device.

The invention relates to the field of inhalation methods and inhalation devices for liquids. In particular, the invention relates to an inhalation method using an inhalation device adapted to separately eject at least two liquid compositions each having different properties, and to a method for the generation of an aerosol of at least two medicinal formulations by means of such inhalation device.

An inhalation-synchronized fluid dispenser device having a body (10; 10′) provided with a mouthpiece (400), a fluid reservoir (100) containing a fluid and a propellant gas being mounted to slide axially in the body (10; 10′), a metering valve (200) including a valve member (210) assembled on the reservoir (100) for selectively dispensing the fluid. The device includes an actuator element (500, 500′, 500″; 550) movable and/or deformable between a non-actuation position and an actuation position; an inhalation-controlled trigger system including an inhalation-sensitive member (60, 61; 65, 66) deformable and/or movable under the effect of inhaling and when deformed and/or moved, moving and/or deforming the actuator element (500, 500′, 500″; 550) from its non-actuation position towards its actuation position; an electronic dose counter (1000); and a signal-transmitter (1100) for communicating, in particular communicating remotely, information relating to the actuations of the device.

The present invention provides for a method for the treatment of a respiratory disease, disorder or condition, or a viral infection or viral disease, disorder or condition in a subject, the method comprising the step of administering to said subject a medically active liquid in nebulized form by inhalation, wherein the medically active liquid comprises niclosamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and wherein the medically active liquid is administered in nebulized form using an inhalation device.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an antiseptic and a steroid, useful for treating a clinical symptom in a patient's airway (e.g., nose, lung, and sinus), wherein a gel containing the antiseptic is formed in situ upon instillation of the compositions onto a body cavity of a subject, as well as methods for using the same.

A dispenser device for fluid or powder, including an air expeller (20) and a reservoir (30). The reservoir (30) has an air inlet (31) connected to the air expeller (20) and a composition outlet (32) connected to a dispenser opening (10), and is removably mounted on the air expeller. After actuation, the empty reservoir can be removed from the air expeller and replaced with a new reservoir. The air inlet (31) is closed by a first closure element (40) and the composition outlet (32) is closed by a second closure element (50). A mechanical opening system (61, 62) co-operates with the first and second closure elements to expel each closure element from the closed position. The mechanical opening system has a first rod (61) secured to the air expeller (20), and a second rod (62) secured to the dispenser head (1), co-operating with a closure element during actuation.

Dispenser, comprising a reservoir (10) containing fluid product, a head (20) provided with an opening (21), a piston (50) for dispensing at least one portion of the fluid product through the opening (21), the reservoir (10) being, before the dispenser is actuated, closed in sealed manner by the piston (50), the device comprising a hollow insert (60) inserted and fixed in the head (20), the insert (60) supporting a cannula (40) for piercing the piston (50) and thus connecting the container (10) to the opening (21) during actuation, wherein:

said dispenser head (20) includes a proximal end portion (220) of reduced diameter the axial length of which is greater than 5 mm, advantageously greater than 6 mm, the maximum outside diameter of which is less than 8 mm, advantageously less than 7 mm, and the wall thickness of which is less than 1.1 mm, advantageously between 0.7 and 1.0 mm;

said dispenser head (20) comprises an inner side wall comprising a first proximal cylindrical section (25) and a second distal cylindrical section (26) of diameter greater than that of said first proximal cylindrical section (25), said insert (60) comprising on its outer wall a first proximal radial projection (65) extending over the entire periphery, said first proximal radial projection (65) cooperating in a tight and sealed manner with said first proximal cylindrical section (25), in order to ensure the sealed fixing of said insert (60) in said dispenser head (20).

A system for delivering a composition containing a nutritional supplement matrix to a user through the oral mucosa, in which the matrix is held under pressure in a canister that has a nozzle with at least one rotating internal member positioned between the canister outlet and the nozzle outlet, in which the rotating member agitates the composition to increase atomization to aid in absorption.
