Inhaler

An inhaler (1) for delivery of an inhalation formulation from a blister strip (2) with a plurality of blister pockets (3) containing the inhalation formulation in doses, wherein the inhaler (1) comprises:

• a conveyor (5) for stepwise onward movement of the blister strip (2), and/or
• a piercing member (7) to puncture a lid (27) of an aligned blister pocket (3),
• the inhaler (1) being designed such that an air stream (9) of ambient air can be sucked or delivered by breathing during inhalation in order to discharge the respective dose from an opened blister pocket (3) and to deliver the respective dose with the ambient air as an aerosol cloud (11) via a mouthpiece (8), and
• the inhaler (1) comprises an oscillating and/or vibrating device (35) separate from the blister strip (2) for supporting de-agglomeration of the inhalation formulation and/or for vibrating at least part of the blister strip (2) and/or a piercing member (7) or any other component of the inhaler (1), wherein
• the oscillating and/or vibrating device (35) is located within the mouthpiece (8), within a feeding path (20) or downstream thereof,
• the oscillating and/or vibrating device (35) comprises an oscillating element (36), or is formed by the oscillating element (36), and
• the oscillating element (36) is located within a main flow of the feeding path and oscillates by moving back and forth along a longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece in the main flow direction of the feeding path (20) or mouthpiece (8).
