Nebulizers

Nebulizers are electric devices that deliver liquid medication through the lungs, similar to the common inhaler. For those suffering from asthma or other respiratory conditions, the use of a nebulizer may become part of one's daily treatment routine. Nebulizers deliver medication as a fog or mist via a mouthpiece or mask. They are designed to efficiently provide the entire liquid dose with little or no waste. The medication is broken down into tiny particles that are easily absorbed deep in the lungs. Nebulizers range from tabletop units with electrical cords to compact battery-powered units for portability and travel.
