An inhalation device comprises at least one inhaler for dispensing a dose of a drug to a user inhaling through the inhaler. The inhaler, which contains a supply of drug, has means (21-23) for detecting the dispensation of a dose and means (21-23; 38) for measuring a specific feature of the disease being treated with the drug, e.g. the inhalation air flow of an asthmatic. A processing unit (30), which is integrated in the inhaler or provided as a separate unit, has storage means (34) for storing the specific feature from a plurality of measurements as well as the time of each detected dispensation of a dose. To improve the reliability of information recorded in the processing device (30), the inhalation device further comprises electronically readable identification means (27), which are arranged inseparably from the supply of drug and which contain information enabling identification of at least the kind of drug in the supply and the size of the dose dispensed when a user inhales through the inhaler, and means for delivering said information to the processing unit. |
