Abstract:
1. An inhaler, comprising a base having a plurality of medicament-containing sealed cavities which are consecutively movable to a dispensing position of the inhaler, foil portions which on one side are attached to the base for sealing the medicament within respective associated cavities and which on an opposite side are attached to a plurality of separating elements, each separating element neighbouring one or more of the plurality of separating elements and each separating element being associated with a respective cavity for separating a foil portion from that cavity, and an actuator adapted to lift the separating element associated with the cavity currently located in the dispensing position, thereby lifting that separating element to a removed position in which the entire separating element is lifted up away from the base so that the sealing foil portion is separated from the cavity which is thereby uncovered so that medicament contained therein is enabled to become entrained in a fluid flow, wherein, in the removed position of the separating element, the attached foil portion at least partly defines a flow path for the medicament entrained from the cavity and wherein a partition wall is provided between each of the neighbouring separating elements, and each partition wall extends perpendicularly upwards from the base.
