The amount dispensed by the dispensing apparatus (10) may be a restricted amount. The inhalation attachment apparatus (26) comprises a channel (34) for receiving the dispensed powdered material from the dispensing apparatus (10), a plurality of apertures (40) for mixing air with the powdered material, and an outlet aperture (38) at an end of the channel (34) for expelling the powdered material. Air is draw in through the outlet apertures (40) upon inhalation by a user at the outlet aperture (38). The air mixes with the powdered material dispensed from the dispensing apparatus (10). The powdered material is dispersed and accelerated by the air, and expelled into and through the mouth of a user, and thereby deposited into the aerodigestive tract. |
