An inhaler for inhaling powdered pharmaceutical compositions from capsules is described, the capsules being plalced before use in a capsule holder disposed in the inhaler. Once the capsule has been inserted in the capsule holder the patient can press an actuating member (7) which can be moved out of a resting position, thereby cooperating with at least one pin which can stuck into the capsule holder. The capsule is pierced by means of the minimum of one pin and the pharmaceutical composition is released. The aim is to further improve such inhalers in terms of their operating comfort. This aim is achieved according to the invention with an embodiment of an inhaler wherein the actuating member is constructed as a double function actuating member (7) by means of which, in a first actuation, the closure element 914) can be unlatched from the lower part (1) in order to pivot the lid (13), and in a second actuation the mouthpiece (12) latched to the plate (9) can be released from the plate (9) such that the mouthpiece (12) can be pivoted away from the lower part (1). Moreover, the mouthpiece (12) which can be pivoted away is provided with a gripping aid (17) which ensures quick and reliable opening of the mouthpiece.
