Abstract: An actuator for an inhaler, in particular a nasal actuator, is disclosed, the actuator comprising a body, a stem post and fixing means for fixing the stem post in the body. The body comprises a delivery passage for delivery of a medicament and a canister opening for insertion of a canister having a metering valve with a valve stem. The stem post comprises a stem socket for receiving the valve stem of a canister and comprises an orifice for discharging a medicament to the delivery passage. The stem post and body are adapted so they cooperate to define a transition chamber when the stem post is fixed in the body. Also disclosed is a method of forming an component for an actuator for an inhaler, and a method of assembling an actuator for an inhaler by inserting the stem post through the canister opening and into the body thereby.

Abstract: A dose counter for use in connection with a device adapted for metered dispensing of a medication is described. The dose counter has a first count indicator that has a first indicia bearing surface, with the first count indicator being rotatable about a first axis. The dose counter also has a second count indicator that has a second indicia bearing surface, with the second count indicator being rotatable about a second axis. The second axis is disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to the first axis, and the first and second indicia bearing surfaces align at a common viewing area to collectively present at least a portion of a medication dosage count.
