A nebulizer is a device used for administering medication to the people in the form of mist inhaled into the lungs. It is commonly used in treating cystic fibrosis, asthma, and other respiratory diseases.
There are different types of nebulizer, although the most common one is the piston type compressor nebulizers, which are used with the medicine cups “atomizers”. Piston type compressor nebulizers are generating pressurized air that causes a blast at high velocity through tubing to the liquid medicine to turn into aerosol particles, which is then inhaled by the patient.
Nebulizers are used with the form of liquid medicine, which is often loaded into the device upon use. Bronchodilators are mainly used medicines. The reason they are inhaled instead of ingested is usually to target their effect to the respiratory tract, which speeds onset of action of the medicine and reduces side effects compared to other means of delivering these medicines.
