Abstract: The present invention is directed, in part, to an inhaler apparatus with a substrate having medicament deposited thereon, the substrate being configured for electronic release of the medicament. In preferred embodiments, the inhaler comprises a conductive layer and a dielectric layer thereon. In preferred embodiments, the inhaler further comprises a second conductive layer positioned above the substrate without having contact with the substrate. In certain preferred embodiments, the voltage source is connected to the conductive layer in the substrate and the second conductive layer above the substrate.
