Nebulizer therapy is an effective and efficient way to deliver medications directly into the lungs by inhalation. Since the medication goes straight to the lungs, onset of the medication’s action often takes place rapidly. Nebulizers are used to treat the symptoms of conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Also, it minimizes the risk of side effects of the medication, preventing the medication from being metabolized into a less effective form by the body. Several classes of drugs can be used in a nebulizer, depending on the condition for which the nebulizer is being used. Particle size for inhaled medications must be smaller than 5 microns for the medication to reach the smaller tubes in the lungs. Using a nebulizer can be a simple, beneficial and safe way to deliver inhaled medications directly into the lungs. Nebulizers can be used at home, or in a hospital or another medical setting. For those with lung conditions, treatments may be used several times a day or only when the condition is acute. There are several types of nebulizers, and some may be incompatible with certain medications. Smart and portable Mush nebulizer are produced for home use and are the least expensive and most popular.
