Provided is an administration device having a novel structure with which makes it possible for any user to effectively administer a substance to be administered such as a powdery
drug to the site called the olfactory region in the
nasal cavity. This device includes: a
gas generator; a valve part; an injection cylindrical body 50; a flexible portion 51 formed on the distal side of the injection cylindrical body 50; a
nozzle end portion 53 having a
discharge port 54; and a posture control projection portion 52. When the posture control projection portion 52 is positioned on the
nostril floor, the flexible portion 51 deforms along the contour in the external
nostril formed between the
nasal septal cartilage and the upper lateral
cartilage, while the
nozzle end portion 53 is positioned on the
nose-dorsum side around the region in the external
nostril in which the upper lateral
cartilage meets the
nasal bone.
