Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for administering pharmaceutical substances by spraying the contents of a container formed of plastics material. The device comprises a pair of members between which is supported the container, the members being movable relative to each other between a first position in which the container is not compressed sufficiently to burst it and a second position in which the members are capable of exerting sufficient pressure on the container to burst it and expel the contents through a discharge outlet.
