<p>An inhaler device for inhalation of a medicament from a pierceable medicament capsule, which inhaler comprises a housing for receiving the medicament capsule; closure means moveable relative to the housing for closing the housing; piercing means for piercing the medicament capsule. Movement of the closure means relative to the housing causes movement of the piercing means. The device further comprises air inlet and outlet defining an inhalation passage therebetween comprising one or more vents; and a holder for the medicament capsule, which holder comprises a chamber for receiving the medicament capsule; and means for generating turbulence in a fluid flow through the chamber such that the turbulent fluid flow causes vibration of the medicament capsule received by the chamber to assist in releasing medicament contained within the medicament capsule. The means for generating turbulence extends substantially the entire length of the chamber to substantially the top of the chamber.</p> |
