Internally pierced formed blisters containing fluid compositions for use in devices to produce a spray or mist delivery of the compositions include internal piercing nozzles that can have significantly reduced channel volume to increase pressure of the fluid forced through the nozzle and provide finer control of spray geometry. The piercing nozzles are configured to deliver the contents of the blister to the central nervous system through the nasal olfactory epithelium.

1. A unit dose pharmaceutical delivery device comprising: an internally pierced formed blister comprising: a blister formed from a stretched flexible film material into a recess with an open end;a pierceable surface sealed to the open end of the blister to form an internal chamber enclosed by the formed recess; anda piercing nozzle wholly contained in the internal chamber, the piercing nozzle comprising:a base comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and a body,an elongated, substantially cylindrical member comprising exterior walls and projecting from the base at a first end and forming a swirl chamber and a discharge nozzle at a second end opposite the base attachment end;one or more internal channels formed in the interior of the elongated member and providing a fluid connection between the base and the swirl chamber, andone or more inlet openings in the upper surface of the base and one or more inlet channels providing a fluid connection from the one or more inlet openings to the one or more internal channels in the elongated member to provide a fluid path from the internal chamber, through the base, into the internal channels of the piercing nozzle, through the swirl chamber and out the discharge nozzle;wherein the piercing nozzle comprises internal structures configured to direct a liquid or powder contained in the blister to the cribriform plate, trigeminal nerve bundle or olfactory epithelium when administered intranasally to the recipient. 2. The unit dose pharmaceutical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the piercing nozzle comprises a solid central column in the interior of the elongated member, extending from the base to the swirl chamber, between the central column and the exterior walls. 3. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 1, wherein the piercing nozzle is constructed of two pieces, and the central column of the piercing nozzle comprises a separate solid elongated member sized to be inserted into a hollow interior of the elongated member. 4. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 1, wherein the piercing nozzle comprises two channels formed in the inner surface of the elongated member, each connecting an inlet opening to the swirl chamber. 5. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 1, wherein the piercing nozzle comprises two inlet openings in the base, each in fluid communication with an inlet channel, wherein the inlet channels are each in fluid communication with an internal channel disposed on opposite sides of the central column, and wherein the two internal channels connect to the swirl chamber at opposite sides of the chamber and wherein the openings from the internal channels into the swirl chamber are configured to create a vortex in the swirl chamber when a fluid is forced through the internal channels and into the swirl chamber under pressure. 6. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 1, wherein the piercing nozzle comprises two inlet openings in the base, each in fluid communication with an inlet channel, wherein the inlet channels are each in fluid communication with an internal channel disposed on opposite sides of the central column, and wherein the two internal channels connect to the swirl chamber at opposite sides of the chamber and wherein the openings from the internal channels into the swirl chamber direct a fluid flow tangentially from opposite sides of the swirl chamber. 7. The internally pierced blister of claim 1, wherein the piercing nozzle further comprises one or more channels formed in the inner surface of the elongated body connecting the inlet openings to the swirl chamber and further wherein the internal channels enter the swirl chamber at respective angles effective to produce a clockwise or a counterclockwise flow pattern in the swirl chamber when a fluid is forced through the internal channels under pressure. 8. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 1, wherein the fluid path from the internal chamber into the internal channels comprises one or more bends. 9. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 8, wherein the one or more bends include at least one 90° bend. 10. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 1, wherein the piercing nozzle is held in position in the internal chamber by a close fit of the base with the shape of the recess opposite the piercable surface and wherein the position includes the discharge nozzle proximate the piercable surface. 11. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 1, further comprising a liquid or powdered composition contained in the internal chamber. 12. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 11, wherein the composition and the internal chamber are sterile. 13. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 11, wherein the composition is a neurologically active pharmaceutical composition that is transported to the brain via the olfactory bulb when administered to the olfactory epithelium. 14. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 13, wherein the composition comprises an active agent selected from a small molecule, protein, peptide, hormone, chelator, stem cell, nucleic acid, a mineral or combinations thereof. 15. The internally pierced formed blister of claim 13, wherein the composition comprises L-dopa, insulin, deferoxamine, Glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a peptide derived from activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), melanocortin, oxytocin, leptin, nerve growth factor (NGF), an adult stem cell, an oligonucleotide, a plasmid, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), or neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4/5).
