Described herein is an actuator housing 100 for use with a metered dose inhaler (MDI) device which comprises a housing portion 115 having a nozzle block 130 in which an actuator seat 135 and an actuator nozzle 145 are formed. The housing portion 115 has an axis 120 which is angled with respect to a vertical plane which is perpendicular to a base portion or thumb grip 150 formed at a closed end thereof. A mouthpiece portion 125 is joined to the housing portion 115 which has a roof section 180 and a floor section 125b, the roof section being angled upwards with respect to the floor portion. The roof section 180 also provides a crosspiece 185 with which teeth of a patient can engage when the MDI device is being used. Such an actuator housing 100 addresses problems associated with buccal deposition of medicaments dispensed from MDI devices, and in particular tongue deposition, as a spray of medicament from the exit orifice or actuator nozzle 145 is directed over the tongue and into the airway. In a further aspect the spray axis which is angled upwards. In a further aspect the mouthpiece face plane is angled.
