PURPOSE: To allow powdered medicine to flow effectively for inhalation and to make it easy to take medicine, by sucking the air in through an inhalation pipe substantially closed by a chamber for storing the medicine. CONSTITUTION: A gelatin capsule 4 fixed into a distal end part 3 of an inhalation pipe 1 to form in a way that the capsule is being kept, and, for the inhalation pipe 1, two air inlet orifices 6 are arranged at the neighborhood of the inner side edge 5 of the capsule 4. The capsule 4 storing a dose of powdered medicine for medical treatment is formed in a shape having roundish edge parts 5 and 5a and two holes 7 are set up at its outer side edge 5a and four holes 8 at its inner side edge 5. By arranging so, when air is sucked in from the edge part 2 with the inhalation pipe 1 bitter in a mouth at the edge part 2, the powdered medicine in the capsule 4 is sucked in, going with the stream of air, and is given to a patient through the inhalation pipe 1. |
