Abstract: A breath-actuated inhaler for delivery of a medicament by inhalation from a canister (2) which is compressible to deliver a dose of medicament. The inhaler comprises a housing (1) for holding a canister (2) and including a mouthpiece (5) for delivery of a dose of medicament from a canister (2) held in the housing; and an actuation mechanism (6) for compressing a canister (2) held in the housing (1) in response to inhalation at the mouthpiece (5). The housing includes two separable portions (19, 20). The first housing portion (19) mounts the actuation mechanism (6). The second housing portion (20) houses the mouthpiece (5) and a duct (24) shaped to direct an inhalation flow from the mouthpeice (5) to the first housing portion (19) for triggering the actuation mechanism (6). The duct (24) and the mouthpiece (5) are integrally formed and separable from the second housing portion (20).
