Nebulizers create a mist that is easy for you to breathe in. This particular drug is actually in liquid form and is therefore not prescribed in a canister. There are many different kinds of nebulizers, also called “breathing treatment”.

In some nebulizers, the fluid is poured into a small cup. You will inhale through a mouthpiece, and a compressing device converts the liquid into a fine, aerosol mist to help you breathe.

• Breathe:

Remember: take slow and deep breaths when you use your nebulizers, this way, the medicine is inhaled into your lungs properly and can really help you.

• Small children

With small children, or others who are unable to hold the mouthpiece correctly, there are also masks to help people breathe which will maximize the effect of the drug.

There are nebulizers designs with compressors as well as nebulizers that function without compressors:

1) Most compressors for nebulizer inhalers will work with virtually any nebulizer kit.

2) The nebulizers that do not require compressors are reffered to as “ultrasonic nebulizers”—these use sound vibrations to function. Ultrasonic nebulizers are less noisy, but also more expensive.

• Cleaning your nebulizers:

o Another thing you must take into consideration before purchasing nebulizers is that they require maintenance as well as effort on th part of the patient.

o Nebulizers require time and effort to keep them clean and operating properly. Therefore, some people prefer other methods such as inhalers or pills.

Many people enjoy the slow breathing as a sort of meditation—or special relax and unwind time—that he or she has to take. It is a great excuse to take some time all for yourself because the treatment in its entirety is prescribed by a doctor.
