An aerosolization device comprises a chamber adapted to contain a powder
pharmaceutical formulation, a lid at least partially covering the
chamber, at least one piercing element forcible through the lid to
provide access to the powder pharmaceutical formulation, and a shapeable
surface extending from the chamber, the shapeable surface being adapted
to undergo a shape change to form a conduit. The powder pharmaceutical
formulation may be extracted from the chamber by a user inhaling through
the conduit. In another version, the lid is removable from the chamber
without the need for a piercing element.
