    Abstract: A dispensing device has a storage device and an air pump for dispensing a medical formulation. The storage device has multiple inserts, each insert containing a single dose of the formulation. Each insert is located in a separate and sealed cavity. The cavities can be individually opened for dispensing the respective dose from the respective insert by a connecting element that is moveable relative to the inserts for individually supplying air from a air pump to a respective one of the receptacles. A manually operated actuator is radially moveable to operate the air pump and to rotate the storage device to the next receptacle, and/or radially move the connecting element to individually open the respective receptacle, and to connect the pump to the respective receptacle and/or to push an insert out of the respective receptacle.
