A cartridge for an aerosol provision device includes a chamber for containing a liquid from which a flow of aerosol for inhalation by a user is generated. The cartridge includes a first connector arrangement for releasably connecting the cartridge to a body portion of the device, and a second connector arrangement for releasably connecting to a container for a material. In use, aerosol flows through the material in the container before being inhaled by the user. The first connector arrangement is configurable in a locked configuration and in an un-locked configuration, and the first connector arrangement must be configured in the un-locked configuration for the cartridge to be removeable from the body portion. The first connector arrangement is configurable from the locked configuration to the un-locked configuration while the cartridge remains stationary with respect to the body portion.

There is disclosed an aerosol delivery device comprising: a first aerosol generator to generate a first aerosol from a first aerosol precursor and to introduce said first aerosol into a first fluid flow pathway, wherein said first aerosol is sized for pulmonary penetration; a second aerosol generator to generate a second aerosol from a second aerosol precursor and to introduce the second aerosol into a second fluid flow pathway, wherein said second aerosol generator comprises a Venturi aperture to dispense and aerosolise the in second aerosol precursor in the second aerosol generator, wherein the second aerosol precursor is a liquid, and wherein the second aerosol is sized to inhibit pulmonary penetration; wherein the second aerosol is transmissible within at least one of: a mammalian oral cavity and a mammalian nasal cavity, and the second aerosol comprising an active component for activating at least one of: one or more taste receptors in said oral cavity and one or more olfactory receptors in said nasal cavity.

A device and method for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable containing an internal susceptor inside an encasement with an induction heating element wrapped around the consumable-containing package to heat the susceptor using a magnetic field generated by the induction heating element. Combustion of the consumable-containing package is minimized by limiting air inside the consumable-containing package by coating a plurality of holes in the encasement material that melts at high temperatures. The coating may also include a flavoring.

Methods and apparatuses for the therapeutic delivery of nicotine for smoking cessation, harm reduction and/or substitution. Furthermore, the devices and methods herein are useful as an alternative, general nicotine delivery system in place of tobacco combustion or high temperature (over 150 degrees C.) products. In addition, the methods and devices herein are useful for the therapeutic delivery of a drug, for reducing the cumulative drug dose and hence its potential toxic side effects, while increasing its neurophysiological and/or physiological effects. Moreover, the devices and methods herein are useful for addiction treatment or reduction. In certain embodiments, the methods are adaptable to a medicament delivery device that determines a sequence of drug doses to be delivered. Dose information may be used to control operation of the device.

A nebulizer system capable of identifying when activation has occurred and aerosol is being produced. The nebulizer system monitors the inhalation and exhalation flow generated by the patient and communicates proper breathing technique for optimal drug delivery. The nebulizer system may monitor air supply to the nebulizer to ensure it is within the working range and is producing, or is capable of producing, acceptable particle size and drug output rate. When a patient, caregiver or other user deposits or inserts medication into the nebulizer, the nebulizer system is able to identify the medication and determine the appropriate delivery methods required to properly administer the medication as well as output this information into a treatment log to ensure the patient is taking the proper medications. The system is able to measure the concentration of the medication and volume of the medication placed within the medication receptacle, e.g., bowl.

A vaporization and inhalation apparatus comprising a cartridge container configured to receive a cartridge including a liquid. The apparatus includes a heating element configured to heat the liquid to a point of vaporization to generate a vaporized form of the liquid. The apparatus also includes an outlet port through which the vaporized form of the liquid is inhaled.

The invention of the present disclosure relates to a medicament dispenser for dispensing medicament from a plurality of elongate form medicament carriers, the dispenser comprising a dispensing mechanism for dispensing the medicament held within the dispenser, wherein the dispensing mechanism is capable of independently advancing each medicament carrier held within the dispenser, the dispensing mechanism comprising a driver, a carrier engagement for each medicament carrier for individually advancing the medicament dose portions thereof, an advancer for each carrier engagement, a flow director capable of dispensing a medicament dose from a plurality of medicament carriers, and a cover for the medicament access body operating as a component of the dispenser actuation mechanism.

A heating device is provided that creates inhalable aerosol that includes one or more heating elements and a temporary or permanently established cavity formed by a barrier between the heating elements and the external environment that envelops the heating elements to allow the insertion and removal of consumables from the cavity and allows for the replacement of the heating elements in the device.

An electronic device for producing an aerosol for inhalation by a person includes a mouthpiece, a liquid container, and a mesh assembly having a mesh material and a piezoelectric material. The mesh material is in contact with a liquid of the container. The mesh material is configured to vibrate when the piezoelectric material is actuated, whereby the aerosol is produced. The aerosol may be inhaled through the mouthpiece. The device also includes circuitry and a power supply for actuating the mesh assembly. The mouthpiece, the container, and the mesh assembly are located in-line along a longitudinal axis of the device between opposite longitudinal ends of the device, with the mesh assembly extending between and separating the mouthpiece and the container. The mesh material has a rigidity that is sufficient to prevent oscillations of varying amplitudes during actuation of the piezoelectric material of the mesh assembly for consistently producing the aerosol.

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 the 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, and wherein the inhalation device used to administer the medically active liquid comprising the niclosamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is a soft-mist-inhaler.
