Inhaler/Nebulizer (0)
drug listInhaler/Nebulizer - Overview
Inhalers are medical devices used to deliver medication directly to the lungs. Asthma spray inhalers are small handheld devices that delivers a measured dose of medication as a fine mist which can be inhaled. They are commonly used to treat conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
Nebulizers, on the other hand, are larger devices that use compressed air or oxygen to convert medicine into a fine mist that can be taken in through a mouthpiece or mask. People often buy nebulizer for more severe respiratory conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or pneumonia.
Both inhalers and nebulizers can be used with various medicines like bronchodilators to open airways, steroids to reduce inflammation, and antibiotics to treat infections. It's important to follow instructions for proper usage and cleaning of these devices to ensure their effectiveness and safety. You can also check for reputed websites that offer nebulizers online.
Types of Nebulizers/Inhalers
There are several types of inhalers and nebulizers available for the treatment of respiratory conditions. The most common inhalers include:
- Dry powder inhalers
 - Metered dose inhalers
 - Soft mist inhalers
 
Nebulizers can be further classified into jet nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers, and vibrating mesh nebulizers. To use nebulizers, add medication to the chamber, connect the tube, and breathe in the mist. Inhaler sprays require you to take a deep breath, activating the device while inhaling to deliver the medication directly to the lungs.
Usage of Inhaler/Nebulizer
The devices can be purchased from medical supply stores, or you can buy nebulizer online. Those who require the devices, can procure them from any pharmacy with a prescription, or through online retailers that offer a wide range of options.
