The present invention relates to a device for administering a fluid medicament to an infant via a teat in fluid flow communication with a reservoir for the fluid medicament, characterised in that the device comprises: a. a teat having an inlet at or adjacent its proximal end to receive fluid from the reservoir and an outlet at or adjacent its distal end through which fluid fed to the teat from the reservoir is adapted to flow into the mouth of a user; b. a conduit within the teat directly connecting the said inlet to the said outlet for the direct flow of fluid medicament from the reservoir to the outlet of the teat; c. an intermediate member located intermediate the proximal end of the teat and the reservoir and adapted to securely receive and locate the teat and to receive the reservoir; d. a reservoir formed integrally with, or demountably secured to, the said intermediate member and being in fluid flow communication via said intermediate member and said conduit with said teat outlet. Preferably, the device also comprises means for generating a positive pressure within the reservoir to assist discharge of fluid from the reservoir to the teat outlet. The invention also provides a method for administering a fluid medicament using a device of the invention. |
