A dose administering device, comprising, in combination:
- a closed end wall,
- a flexible, collapsible sidewall circumscribing said end wall,
- an outlet coupling at an end of said sidewall opposite said closed end wall,
- liquid and gas in said device,
- and plunger means with means to be positioned on an exterior of said device's flexible sidewall at a transition between the gas and the liquid to eject the liquid by constricting said sidewall.
