An inhaler device for inhalation of a medicament from a pierceable capsule comprises a housing for receiving a medicament capsule (10); closure means (3) for closing the housing, said closure means being moveable relative to the housing; piercing means (7) suitable for piercing a medicament capsule; wherein movement of the closure means (3) relative to the housing causes movement of the piercing means (7). The invention also provides a holder for a medicament capsule (10) which holder comprises a chamber (2) suitable for receiving a medicament capsule; and means for generating turbulence in a fluid flow through the chamber (2) such that, in use, the turbulent fluid flow causes vibration of a capsule (10) received by the chamber (2) so as to assist in releasing medicament contained within the capsule (10). |
