Abstract: An aerosol inhalation device in pocket-size which has one dosage dispensing position and one storage position, and which comprises a two-part telescoping deceleration chamber (2, 3) with rectangular cross-section and a socket (1) for an exchangeable aerosol container. The socket is connected with the inner chamber part (2) so that it can be telescopically inserted therein to form a storage position. In dosage dispensing position the socket is extended from the deceleration chamber, pivoted at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the chamber and locked in the angle.

Abstract: An aerosol inhalation device comprising an elongated chamber, an outer chamber part of which has an outlet opening and is telescopically displaceable over an inner chamber part which is connectable to an aerosol dispenser and provided with a flexible tongue which on telescoping the device together closes the outlet opening.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition containing zinc in the form of one or more water soluble zinc salts and a complex-former selected from the group consisting of hydroxycarboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, or salts thereof. The water solutions thereof give a palatable, acceptable peroral zinc solution and are useful for treating leg ulcers, post-operative wounds, decubital ulcers and other diseased conditions in zinc anemia.

Abstract: A device for use with a medicinal inhalation device comprises a rotationally symmetrical chamber having an opening to be connected to a spray nozzle and a mouthpiece. The chamber diverges conically from the opening and converges towards the mouthpiece. During passage through the chamber, an aerosol mist will lose propellant by evaporation, and smaller particles will be generated which can more readily follow the path of inhalation.
