An improved inhaler and medicated packet which uses a patient's breath to send powdered medication into the oral cavity of the patient. The inhaler is reusable and controls both the rate of airflow inside the chamber and prevents the patient from blowing into the inhaler (9). Disposable medicated packets (20) are inserted into the inhaler (9). These medicated packets (20) have preformed holes (21a and 21b) which pass air through the packet (20) and entrain the medication (23). One inhaler can be used numerous times for numerous different types of medication. These medicated packets (20) have a removable, protective layer to maintain the sterility and dryness of the measured dose of medication. In operation, the medication is transported from the packet (20), through the inhaler (9), and into the patient. The medicated packets are transparent on one side to allow the patient to observe if the medication has been completely delivered. |
