This invention is for nasal adaptors for oral inhaler devices and methods
of adapting an oral inhaler device with a nasal adaptor. The nasal
adaptor of the present invention, in assembly with an oral metered dose
aerosol inhaler converts an oral inhaler device to nasal delivery. The
nasal adaptor in assembly with an oral inhaler device when in operation,
simultaneously administers an inhalant to the nasal mucosa and down to
the bronchial tree and lungs. In this manner a nasally delivered
anti-inflammatory agent would travel down the same route as an allergen
would--the nostril, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, trachea, bronchi and lung
tissues.
