The shuttle (16) is movable between a filling position, in which the dosing recess (15) is in alignment with an opening (17) of the container (7) to be filled with a dose of the powdered medicament, and an inhalation position, in which the dosing recess (15) is in alignment with the inhalation channel (8), for enabling inhalation of the dose of the powdered medicament contained in the dosing recess (15) through the mouthpiece (4). A sealing device (28) is operationally active at a coupling zone of the shuttle (16) with the container (7) when the shuttle (16) is in the filling position, the coupling zone circumscribing the dosing recess (15) and the opening (17).
