The invention relates to a device intended for measuring a dose of powdered medicament for inhalation, including a medicament container (1), through which extends a shaft (3) provided with at least one dosage recess (5). Container (1) is provided with at least one flap-like sweeper element (4), resting on shaft (3) in alignment with the dosage recess and having one of its ends rotatable around shaft (3), the other end of said flap dragging along the shaft surface, whereafter said shaft (3) is displaceable in this longitudinal direction relative to container (1) so as to bring dosage recess (5), along with a dose of the medicament carried therein, outside container (1). The invention relates also to the measuring of a dose of powdered medicament for inhalation by using the device described above.
