What is a Home Nebulizer

A home nebulizer is a medical device used to deliver medication directly to the lungs. It is typically used for patients with respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or cystic fibrosis.

The nebulizer works by converting liquid medication into a mist or aerosol that can be inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask. This allows the medication to reach the lungs directly, where it can be absorbed more quickly and effectively than medication taken orally.

Home nebulizers are often prescribed by doctors as part of a treatment plan for respiratory conditions. They can be used to deliver a variety of medications, including bronchodilators, steroids, and antibiotics. Patients can use their nebulizer at home, as needed, to manage their symptoms and improve their breathing.
