The invention relates to an inhaler comprising a housing with a mouth end, at least one air inlet opening and an air channel extending into the housing between the at least one air inlet opening and the mouth end, a receiving area for a fluid reservoir, an electric energy accumulator, a supply device for generating steam and/or aerosol from a component mixture extracted from the fluid reservoir and adding the steam and/or the aerosol to an air flow flowing into the air channel, wherein the supply device comprises an evaporator which can be controlled separately and a control device for controlling the supply device. The control device is connected or can be connected a data store in which at least one set predefining the evaporating parameters can be called upon and stored therein for evaporating the component mixture in the evaporator.

Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

A device for delivering medication to a user may include a main body, an electronics module, and a slider. The main body may include a mouthpiece, a medication reservoir, and a mouthpiece cover, where the mouthpiece cover may be hinged to the main body. The electronics module may include a communication circuit, a pressure sensor, and a switch. The slider may be configured to engage the switch when the mouthpiece cover moves from a closed position to an open position. The switch may be configured to switch the electronics module from an off state or a sleep state to an active state. The electronics module may be configured to never return to the off state after the mouthpiece cover is moved to expose the mouthpiece for the first time by the user.

A fluid dynamic valve passively allows fluid flow out of a moving stream in one flow direction and not in the reverse. This allows the collection of fluid from a single direction of an AC fluid flow. The siphoned portion of the flow has a flow rate proportional to the mainstream flow. This device can collect exhaled breath or selective entrenchment during inhale. In one orientation, it can meter aerosolized particles into an inhale breath stream for pulmonary delivery, without complicated breath timing or drug loss due to drug adsorption to the back of the throat. Alternatively, a user can breathe through the device and a proportional amount, relative to the volumetric flow rate, of each exhale can flow into an auxiliary chamber for analysis. In addition, the device has a low respiratory burden and is comfortable to use.

Disclosed herein are compositions including diphenhydramine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a liquid vehicle. The compositions may be administered intranasally to patients in need of diphenhydramine. The compositions provide increase plasma and brain concentrations relative to orally administered compositions, but without the limitations associated with intravenously administered compositions

There is provided a dose counter assembly for use with a medicament dispenser, the dose counter assembly comprising: a) a units dose display means comprising a first count indicia and one or more driver teeth; b) a tens dose display means comprising a second count indicia; and c) a driver, wherein the first count indicia and second count indicia align at a common viewing area to collectively display a count sequence.

Spray dispenser for nasal drugs includes a non-pressurized bottle for storing medical fluids in particular of drugs and other sterile fluids, a mounting body mounted to the top of the bottle and an actuating body, wherein the bottle, the mounting body and the actuating body are aligned along a longitudinal axis, and wherein the actuating body is slideably attached to the mounting body along the longitudinal axis and movable between an actuating position and a non-actuating position, wherein the spray dispenser includes an applicator nozzle and an actuating section for moving the actuating body into the actuating position, characterized in that the applicator nozzle has a nozzle axis which is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis, the applicator nozzle facing away from the actuating section.

A method for treating patients with COVID-19 and/or other respiratory conditions include administering a dosage of 75-100 milligrams of dapsone twice daily. A variety of dapsone formulation and delivery devices are disclosed, including an inhaler, nasal spray, nasal gel, otic formulation, intravenous formulation, oral solution, oral suspension, patch and suppository.

Inhalation device for generation of an aerosol of a medically active liquid, said inhalation device comprising a check valve (4); a housing (1), inside this housing (1) a reservoir (2) for storing said medically active liquid (L), downstream this reservoir (2) a pumping unit (3) for generation of a pressure connected to a means for the delivery of mechanical energy (6) to said pumping unit (3), and downstream said pumping unit (3) a nozzle (5); wherein the pumping unit (3) comprises a hollow cylindrical part (3A) and a piston (3B), the cylindrical part (3A) having an interior space (3C) configured to receive an end portion (3B′) of said piston (3B), wherein said cylindrical part (3A) and said piston (3B) are linearly moveable relative to one another such as to form a pumping chamber (3D) having a variable volume.

A dispenser having tank; dispensing head having a dispensing port axially movable, a dispensing member actuated when the tank is moved upwards; an inner body having a hollow cylinder receiving the dispenser and an axial extension extending axially downwards; a control module having an electronic board, a motor and a motor wheel; an outer body receiving the inner body and control module; a thrust member in contact with the tank and axially movable on the inner body between rest and actuation positions; a control member attached to the thrust member and axially moving therewith; and a locking ring mounted on the axial extension rotatable between locking and releasing positions. The locking ring is moved by the control module cooperates in the locking position with the thrust member to prevent axial movement of latter and in the releasing position with the thrust member to enable axial movement towards the actuation position.
