Abstract: A mouthpiece for a handheld inhaler is disclosed. A housing of the mouthpiece includes an inlet, an outlet opening, and a channel extending through the housing connecting the inlet and the outlet opening for directing an aerosol from the inlet to the outlet opening. An anterior portion of the housing (4) is configured for placement in the mouth of a patient. The anterior portion of the housing is configured to direct the outlet opening upwardly in the patient's oral cavity when in the mouth of the patient. Other embodiments include an outlet opening placed closer to the upper side of the housing than to the lower side of the housing. Further, an inhaler having a mouthpiece is disclosed.

Abstract: A metered droplet medicament delivery device for delivering metered doses of medicament includes a proximal part and a distal part having opposite distal and proximal ends; a medicament container with a movable stopper; and a dose delivery mechanism that includes a plunger rod, operably arranged to act on the stopper. The proximal and distal parts are releasably connectable to each other. The proximal part includes a medicament container holder accommodating the medicament container, and the distal part includes the dose delivery mechanism. A plunger rod positioning member is engageable with a proximal end of the plunger rod and with a proximal area of the distal part for positioning the plunger rod in a longitudinal direction in relation to the proximal area.
