Abstract: A dry powder inhaler is disclosed. The dry powder inhaler includes at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and a dosage mechanism between the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet for arranging a dose of a dry powder medicament such that the dose may be delivered upon inhalation at the at least one outlet. The dosage mechanism includes a dose wheel configured to retain a plurality of medicament cavities for housing the dry powder medicament. The dosage mechanism further includes a dosing element movable between an inactive position and a dose-administering position. The dosing element is configured to enable fluid communication between at least one medicament cavity and the at least one outlet when in the dose-administering position.

Abstract: A method of packaging at least one dry powder medicament may include assembling a first plurality of medicament cavities in a first row and assembling a second plurality of medicament cavities in a second row. The second row may be arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first row. Each medicament cavity of the first plurality of medicament cavities in the first row and a corresponding medicament cavity of the second plurality of medicament cavities in the second row may form a pair of medicament cavities. The method may further include depositing dry powder medicament into at least one medicament cavity of at least one of the first plurality of medicament cavities and the second plurality of medicament cavities. The method may also include sealing each pair of medicament cavities with a respective removable sealing element.
