An improved breath coordinated inhaler (10) is provided for administering medication to a patient in aerosol form for respiratory inhalation therapy. The improved inhaler (10) comprises a compact housing (18) adapted to receive and support a medication canister (12), including a valve assembly (14) actuated to deliver a dosage of the medication in aerosol form. The housing (18) includes a plunger mounted at a first end thereof for displacing the canister against a spray nozzle (24) located at a second end of the housing to actuate the valve assembly (14), and deliver the medication through a mouthpiece (26) to the patient. The plunger (36) is associated with a seal arrangement for venting the housing (18) when the plunger is depressed to allow the patient to draw in air in timed relation to the medication delivery, and to substantially reseal the housing (18) against ingress of contaminants when the plunger (36) is released.

L'invention concerne un inhalateur (10) amélioré conçu pour administrer un médicament à un patient sous forme pulvérisée pour un traitement par inhalation. L'inhalateur (10) amélioré comprend un boîtier compact (18) adapté pour recevoir et supporter une boîte de médicaments (12) comprenant à son tour une soupape (14) actionnée pour distribuer une dose de médicament sous forme pulvérisée. Le boîtier (18) comprend un piston monté au niveau de la première extrémité permettant de déplacer la boîte de médicaments à l'encontre d'une buse de pulvérisation (24) se trouvant au niveau de la seconde extrémité du boîtier et permettant d'actionner la soupape (14) et de distribuer les médicaments au patient à travers une embouchure (26). Le piston (36) est associé à un joint d'étanchéité permettant de ventiler le boîtier (18) lorsque le plongeur est pressé afin de permettre au patient d'aspirer de l'air pendant la distribution du médicament et de refermer sensiblement le boîtier (18) afin d'éviter l'entrée de contaminants lorsque le plongeur (36) est relâché.
