The invention relates to an aerosol container for pharmaceutically active aerosols which are to be administered in specified quantities and are provided in the form of a suspension in the container, the suspension comprising at least a propellent gas in addition to a pharmaceutically active substance. The aerosol container (1) comprises a metering valve (2) which has a metering chamber (20) and a valve tube (21). In a first position of the valve tube, the metering chamber communicates with the interior of the container and is filled with a specified quantity of the aerosol. In a second position of the valve tube, it releases the quantity of the aerosol located in the metering chamber. The propellent gas is an alternative propellent gas which is free from chlorofluorocarbons, preferably a propellent gas comprising only fluorocarbons, and the inside wall of the container is plastic-coated. <IMAGE> |
