1. A medicament dispenser comprising:
- a body,a medicament container for containing medicament in said dispenser for movement from a non-dispensing state, in which medicament is not dispensed from said container, to a dispensing state, in which medicament is dispensed from said container, anda magneto-rheological fluid actuator for moving said container from its non-dispensing state to its dispensing state, wherein said actuator comprises magneto-rheological fluid which is transformable from a solidified state to a liquid flowable state by a source of magnetic radiation, and wherein said actuator is adapted to move said container from its non-dispensing state to its dispensing state in response to said magneto-rheological fluid transforming from its solidified state to its liquid flowable state.

14. A medicament dispenser comprising:
-
a mount for engaging a medicament container, the mount being movable between at least a first and a second position for moving the medicament container from a non-dispensing state to a dispensing state, respectively, and a magneto-rheological fluid actuator being interconnected to the mount for moving the mount between the first and second positions, wherein said actuator comprises magneto-rheological fluid which is transformable from a solidified state to a liquid flowable state by a source of magnetic radiation, and wherein said actuator is adapted to move the mount from the first position to the second position in response to the magneto-rheological fluid transforming from its solidified state to its liquid flowable state.
