The present disclosure describes a tamper responsive cartridge which can prevent malicious or inadvertent altering of the primary substance before it is consumed by the user, either by an intervening party, or the user itself. As described herein, an altering substance can be contained in a second reservoir, separate from the primary reservoir, and configured to make access to the primary reservoir difficult without also accessing the secondary reservoir.

A nasal fluid dispenser device comprising: a body (10) comprising a hollow sleeve (11) and a top surface (15); and an actuator member (40) that is mounted to slide in said body (10) so as to actuate the device; the device further comprising two nasal extensions (20, 30), at least one of which forms a dispenser head provided with a respective dispenser orifice (21, 31), said nasal extensions extending from said top surface (15), each dispenser head being connected, during actuation, to a respective reservoir (50) that is arranged in said body (10), said two nasal extensions (20, 30) forming an angle lying in the range 30° to 60° relative to a longitudinal central axis (A) of said body (10).

A dispenser device, including an outlet, air expeller including a piston that slides in an air chamber between rest position and dispensing positions, and a reservoir containing a dose composition. The reservoir includes an air inlet connected to the air expeller, and a composition outlet connected to the outlet, the air inlet including a composition retainer member, and the composition outlet being closed by a closure element force fitted in the composition outlet of the reservoir. A mechanical opening system co-operates with the closure element to expel it from its closed position while the device is actuated. The piston, when in its rest position, co-operates in non-airtight manner with the air chamber so that the air chamber communicates with the atmosphere. The piston includes an inner lip co-operating with a cylindrical surface, the cylindrical surface including fluting co-operating in non-airtight manner with the inner lip in the rest position.

A delivery device for use in administering a dry powder to a biological subject's airway is provided. The device comprises (a) a housing having an inlet in fluid communication with an outlet for delivering a flow of gas to the subject's airway; and (b) one or more cantilever structures located within the housing. Vibration of the one or more cantilever structures facilitates entry of the dry powder into the flow of gas, such that the dry powder can be delivered by the flow of gas through the outlet to the subject's airway. Also provided is a container for releasably storing a particulate composition, the container comprising a shell sealed by a seal in which the particulate composition is stored, wherein a puncturing device for rupturing the seal to release the particulate composition is housed within the shell. Further provided are associated methods for administering dry powder using the delivery device and/or container.

Methods and devices for delivering a dose, such as a medicament, for inhalation. A dose may be stored by a delivery device and dispersed and delivered in a metered fashion to a subject, such as by the subject inhaling via a mouthpiece of the delivery device. One or more chambers of the device may have a toroidal shape and may be arranged to be selectively opened for fluid communication with a flow path of the delivery device, such as by sliding the chamber relative to a portion of the flow path. The flow path may include a restriction that permits air to bypass the chamber, and/or the chamber may be arranged so that fluid entering the chamber interacts with fluid exiting the chamber so as to enhance dispersion of the dose.

A device for dispensing individual doses of powder from respective pockets of a disc-shaped carrier by outwardly rupturing a lidding foil by means of pressure on an opposite side surface, the device providing individual respective deaggregation flow paths for each pocket, split airstreams allowing improved entrainment of powder, a cam mechanism for outwardly rupturing the pockets, an indexing mechanism linked to the cam mechanism and a dose counter.

A handheld assembly for dispensing a medicament to a subject is provided. The assembly includes a unit dose device, a shell, a plunger, a dispense button, a drive member and an escapement that is movable and capable of cycling the dispense assembly thru multiple states of a dispense cycle.

The present disclosure describes a tamper responsive cartridge which can prevent malicious or inadvertent altering of the primary substance before it is consumed by the user, either by an intervening party, or the user itself. As described herein, an altering substance can be contained in a second reservoir, separate from the primary reservoir, and configured to make access to the primary reservoir difficult without also accessing the secondary reservoir.

The present disclosure provides a nasal delivery device with a device body that includes a trigger end and an outlet end. The nasal delivery device also includes a trigger assembly coupled to the trigger end of the device body, a drug container supported by the device body, and a spring-loaded activator assembly supported by the device body and disposed between the trigger assembly and the drug container.

A dry powder inhaler dispenses a partial dosage of a powder from a dry powder chamber during a single user inhalation. In certain embodiments, the dry powder chamber is a dry powder capsule that spins in a chamber with a protrusion for limiting the spin of the capsule. In certain embodiments, a capsule slides in a proximal and distal direction for dispensing partial dosages of powder medicament. Air inlets in communication whit the external environment can be included in the inhaler housing for generating a smooth inhalation experience for the user and facilitating operation of partial dosage mechanisms. In other embodiments, a hinged member, sliding member, rotating member, spring tensioned member, pressure actuated valve, dry powder chamber with patterned holes or combinations of these are used as a mechanism for dispensing a partial dosage of powder medicament during a single inhalation.
