The present invention relates to a medicament inhaler, and more particularly to an inhaler configuration that accurately measures the dose of a medicament actually inhaled into the lungs and provides a function of learning how to inhale a medicament.

At present, it is generally required to use an inhaled medicament for treatment, which must be carried out by using a medicament inhaler, and the medicament inhaler is constructed as disclosed in the invention No. I310905 of the Republic of China on June 11, 1998. The invention relates to an inhalant device and a device and method thereof for recording drug information. The invention discloses an apparatus and a method for providing an inhalation device and a recordable drug data thereof, which can be used for recording a patient using an inhalation device. Effective medication time and number of effective medications. The device for recording the medication data can start a startup circuit synchronously when the patient uses the inhalation device to provide power to the power source. Through the operation of electricity, a sensor can sense the flow rate pressure when a patient inhales a drug. When the flow rate pressure exceeds a certain threshold, the timer generates time data and counter generation data, and stores the time data and the number of times data into one memory.

However, the above-mentioned prior patents use the inductive pressure to calculate the inhalation amount of the medicament, but since each user's operating habits are different, there is a time error when the medicament is pressed and the inhalation is started to generate pressure. As a result, the measurement difference is caused, and the inhalation amount of the medicine cannot be accurately measured, and the function of how to learn to use the inhaler cannot be provided in time for a patient who has not used the inhaler, and therefore it is not ideal for use.
