Liquid drug cartridges and an associated inhaler are used to deliver one more separate doses of an aerosolized liquid drug. A cartridge includes a container for storing the liquid drug, an end cap having an ejection opening, a filter element, and a piston that is repositionable relative to the container to selectively eject a volume of liquid drug from the ejection opening. The filter element filters the liquid drug prior to ejection from the ejection opening. The liquid drug cartridge can be coupled with an inhaler that includes an aerosol generator. The aerosol generator includes a vibratable membrane onto which the liquid drug is ejected. The liquid drug is aerosolized by the vibration of the membrane for inhalation by a user.

An ultrasonic medicine application device that strongly promotes medicine absorption, having a housing, a control panel and a circuit board inside the housing, a medicine supply mechanism and an ultrasonic massage mechanism on a bottom surface of the housing. The ultrasonic massage mechanism has a base panel having massage projections, and also an electrical ultrasonic vibration element, which drives the projections make high frequency ultrasonic vibration. The medicine supply mechanism is positioned between the ultrasonic massage mechanism and the circuit board, and is configured to supply medicine towards the ultrasonic massage mechanism.

A sublingual type medication delivery device includes a container body having a predetermined volume of solvent with a spray dispenser attached at one end of the container and at the opposite end of the container is a housing which contains medication to be discharged into the container and mixed with the solvent to form a diluted medication for fractional delivery of the medication over a period of time. The housing can either be a tablet crusher for introducing medicament in solid form into the container or the housing can be a capsule having liquid medicament that is delivered through a needle that pierces the capsule wall.

A nasal delivery device for and a method of delivering substance to a nasal airway of a subject, the nasal delivery device comprising: a mouthpiece (519) through which the subject in use exhales to cause closure of the oropharyngeal velum of the subject; a nosepiece (517) for fitting to a nostril of a subject, the nosepiece including a nozzle (549) through which substance is in use delivered to the nasal airway; and a manually-actuatable substance supply unit (520) for delivering substance through the nozzle of the nosepiece.

The present disclosure relates to a drug administration device configured to administer a drug. In an exemplary embodiment the drug administration device includes a housing including first and second housing electrical contacts, a dispensing mechanism, a drug holder, a removable power supply including first and second power supply electrical contacts, and at least one protection mechanism in a first protecting configuration when the removable power supply is not received within the housing and in a second configuration when the removable power supply is received within the housing. In another exemplary embodiment the drug administration device includes a housing, a dispensing mechanism disposed within the housing, a removable power supply that is configured to be received within the housing, a sensor configured to determine remaining charge of the removable power supply, and a processor configured to modify operation of the drug administration device in response to data produced by the sensor.

Disclosed is a portable inhaler, having a rotary actuation mechanism, and comprising a follower component (104), a rotary loading device (106) and a button (112). The rotary loading device comprises a cam component (108) engaged with a cage component (110), to allow a predetermined limited rotational relative movement therebetween. The button is translatable between a central position and an extended position, and can be engaged by the cam component upon rotary movement of the rotary actuation mechanism to its primed position to translate the button to its extended position, and the button can engage the cam component to effect rotary movement of the rotary actuation mechanism to its actuated position as the button translates to its central position thereby releasing the follower component.

A method of administering C60 to a user includes combining C60 molecules with a limonene composition to form a C60 mixture, heating the C60 mixture to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period to dissolve the C60 molecules into the limonene composition to form a dissolved C60 mixture, and administering the dissolved C60 mixture to a nasal cavity of the user via nasal administration.

The present disclosure describes a self-sprayer device for self-administering an animal product to an animal and providing environmental enrichment to the animal.

A vented protective cap for a liquid dispenser, and a venting insert, in particular for such a protective cap. The protective cap has a cap wall which surrounds a cap interior. The cap wall has a venting aperture which is spanned by a flexible sheet-like structure. A boundary region of the sheet-like structure is fixed in an encircling manner to a boundary of the venting aperture. The sheet-like structure consists of at least two layers which bear directly against one another but, at least in a central region of the sheet-like structure, are not connected fixedly to one another.

The invention provides an inhalation device system for the in-halative administration of a medically active liquid in nebulized form, the system comprising an inhalation device and an exchangeable reservoir for holding the medically active liquid, wherein the inhalation device comprises - a housing having a receiving unit, the receiving unit having a connection unit adapted to releasably and fluidically connect to a connection port of the exchangeable reservoir, the receiving unit being adapted to receive and fluidically connect to the exchangeable reservoir; - a nozzle for nebulization of the medically active liquid; and - a pumping unit arranged within the housing and adapted to be fluidically connected to the reservoir (via the connection unit of the receiving unit) and to the nozzle and being adapted to convey (pressurize, pump) the medically active liquid in a downstream direction from the reservoir to the nozzle.
