14 MEDICAMENT-CONTAINING ARTICLE AND DEVICE THEREFOR A medicament-containing article (1) is provided which comprises a base member (2) having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough from one face of the base member to an opposite face of the base member, and a pair of lids (3,4) each positioned over a respective one of the faces of the base member. Each lid has a raised portion (6, 7) where it covers each aperture so that a respective compartment is defined by each aperture and the adjacent raised portions of the lids, the raised portions being at least partly severable from the remainder of the lids. A quantity of medicament is contained within each compartment. A dispensing device (10) is provided which is adapted to receive an article. The device comprises means (24, 28, 30) for severing the raised lid portions at opposite ends of a given aperture, and ducts (44, 50) defining an air-flow path through that aperture to enable medicament to be inhaled therefrom. |
