性材料を担持させる等の方法を挙げることができる。In the medicine inhaling aid of the present invention, the method of supporting the above-mentioned medicine on the cylindrical body varies depending on the dosage form of the above-mentioned medicine, and both ends of both the cylinders have at least partially open shapes. Examples include coating or sticking to at least one of the inner walls of the cylinder, and filling or spraying the inner wall of the cylinder. In the medicine inhalation aid of the present invention, it is preferable that the cylinder is liquid-impermeable, but when the medicine is carried on the inner wall of the cylinder as described above, the structure of the inner wall of the cylinder is provided by a mechanism that can easily carry the medicine. It is possible to adjust, such as, for example, a sponge, non-woven fabric,
Examples of the method include a method of using a porous material such as gauze and cotton, a method of supporting a bag containing a medicine on the inner wall of the cylinder, and a method of supporting an adhesive material on the inner wall of the cylinder.

助具であると言える。Instead of adjusting the configuration of the inner wall of the cylinder as described above, a drug is carried on a carrier obtained by molding the same porous material as described above into a shape mountable on the inner wall of the cylinder. Can be attached to the inner wall of the cylinder. In the medicine inhalation aid of the present invention, in which both ends of such a cylindrical body are open and the medicine is carried on the inner wall of the cylindrical body, when the medicine is inhaled by attaching it to the nose, it may interfere with breathing. Therefore, among the drug inhalation aids of the present invention, the drug inhalation aid of the above configuration can be said to be a particularly preferable drug inhalation aid for a drug requiring continuous administration.

The medicine may be carried on the open tubular body in the same manner as described above. In this way, when the other cylinder has a closed end in the medicine inhalation aid of the present invention, it may be more or less obstructive to breathing when it is attached to the nose. When administering a drug that is preferably temporarily inhaled, by using the drug inhalation aid of the present invention having the above configuration,
It is preferable because it is easy to inhale the medicine at a stretch.
In this case, the attachment of the medicine inhalation aid of the present invention may be temporary, and if the aid is immediately removed after inhalation of the medicine, it does not significantly affect respiration.

And are connected with flexibility. The shape of the connecting member is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a linear shape or an arch shape. Note that the connecting member traverses the two cylindrical bodies with the shortest length means that the connecting member traverses so that the linear distance between the connection point center points of the connecting member and the two cylindrical bodies is the shortest, Therefore, the shortest length, that is, the length of the connecting member,
It can be said that the distance is equal to the closest distance between the outer walls of the two cylinders, in other words, the distance is almost the same as the distance between the nostrils. In addition, as described above, when both the cylinders are shaped so as to gradually reduce from one end to the other end,
Generally, the ends of both cylinders having a small cross-sectional area, and the ends having a large cross-sectional area are arranged substantially in parallel at adjacent positions. In this case, the connecting member is It is preferable to be connected to a part of the outer periphery of the end having a large sectional area.

腔内に止まることが可能となる。When the chemical inhalation aid of the present invention is used, the two cylinders are connected from the end (hereinafter, also referred to as the “insertion end”) of the pair of cylinders not connected to the connecting member. It is inserted into the nasal cavity along the direction of the axis of rotation of the cylinder via both nostrils. When the entire cylindrical body is inserted, the connecting member that traverses both cylindrical bodies at the ends opposite to the insertion ends of both cylindrical bodies is blocked by the tip of the nasal septum sandwiched by both nostrils, and further inside the nasal cavity Not to be inserted into In this way, the cylindrical body inserted into the nasal cavity from the nostril is located at the tip of the nasal cavity, and is supported by the force of the nasal wing pressing inwardly. Thereby, for example, the medicine inhalation aid of the present invention can be stopped in the nasal cavity without assistance such as supporting a person with a finger or the like.

This works effectively when both cylinders are inserted through the nostrils or when the cylinders inserted into the nasal cavity are pushed inward by the nasal wing at the tip of the nasal cavity. This also allows the medicine inhalation aid of the present invention to adapt to various nose shapes of the user. Further, it is preferable from the viewpoint of usability that the connecting member is curved in a shape following the shape between the nostrils of the nose.

腔内皮を傷つけることを防止する役割を果たしている。The assisting tool 1 is integrally formed of a soft synthetic resin and includes a pair of cylindrical bodies 2 and a connecting member 3 for connecting the two cylindrical bodies. The two cylinders 2 are formed exactly the same. The cylindrical body 2 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and its outer diameter is gradually reduced from one end 2b toward the other end 2a. Although both ends are open, the end 2b having the larger outer diameter is entirely open, whereas the end 2a having the smaller outer diameter is largely open at the center of the cross section. However, the outer peripheral portion remains in a narrow donut shape. On the inner walls of the two cylinders 2, for example, a carrier made of a porous material formed in a size and shape attachable to the inner walls of these cylinders and carrying a chemical is fixed by a method such as affixing. Since the cylindrical body is inserted into the nasal cavity from the end 2a having the smaller outer diameter,
The donut-shaped edge portion of the end of the cylindrical body plays a role of preventing the nasal endothelium from being damaged during insertion.

The two cylinders are arranged in parallel in the same direction, and the connecting member 3 is connected to a part of the outer periphery of the end 2b having the larger outer diameter of each cylinder. The connecting member 3 bridges the two cylinders 2 with the shortest length so that the distance between the outer walls closest to the two cylinders is substantially the same as the distance between the nostrils.
The entire shape of the connecting member 3 is a shape protruding in an arch shape on the opposite side of the cylindrical body.

After supporting the medicine in both cylinders in an appropriate manner so that the medicine is gradually released, the auxiliary tool 1 is inserted into the nasal cavity through both nostrils from both ends 2a having smaller outer diameters of both cylinders. Inserted. When the entire cylindrical body is inserted, the connecting member 3 bridging the two cylindrical bodies at the larger end 2b of the two cylindrical bodies is blocked by the tip of the nasal septum sandwiched between the both nostrils. Prevents it from being inserted more than necessary into the nasal cavity.
The cylindrical body 2 inserted into the nasal cavity from the nostril is located at the tip of the nasal cavity, and is supported by the force of the nasal wing pressing the nasal cavity inward.

薬品吸入補助具は、薬品吸入後、直ちに取り外される。When actually using the intranasal-insertion-type medicine inhalation aid of the second embodiment, as described above, the medicine is carried in the cylinder whose both ends are open ends. After that, the assisting tool 1 is inserted into the nasal cavity from both ends of the two cylindrical bodies having smaller outer diameters through both nostrils. When the entire cylindrical body is inserted, the connecting member 3 bridging the two cylindrical bodies at the larger end 2b of the two cylindrical bodies is blocked by the tip of the nasal septum sandwiched between the both nostrils. To prevent more than necessary insertion into the nasal cavity. The cylindrical body inserted into the nasal cavity from the nostril is located at the tip of the nasal cavity, and is supported by the force of the nasal wing pushing the nasal cavity inward. In this way, the medicine carried in the cylindrical body is easily inhaled from the nose by mounting the intranasal medicine inhalation aid of the second embodiment and performing a suction operation at a stretch. . The medicine inhalation aid is immediately removed after inhaling the medicine.
