Inhaled medications play an important role in the treatment of many respiratory conditions. There are various devices available for delivering aerosolized medications to the airway, but the nebulizer stands out as one of the best options. Keep reading to learn what nebulizers have to offer, and feel free to contact Mark Drug Medical Supply if you have any questions. Mark Drug Medical Supply is your destination for respiratory equipment in Wheeling, IL.!

Nebulizers offer a quick solution to relieve the acute symptoms of asthma and other respiratory conditions. Unlike oral medications, which are slowly absorbed in the digestive system, medication delivered by a nebulizer can produce a therapeutic effect within about five minutes. Nebulizers can also deliver higher doses of medication compared to other delivery methods.

Nebulizers are not only used to treat acute symptoms, they can also administer daily medications to improve overall respiratory health. For example, bronchodilators can be inhaled through a nebulizer on a regular basis to relax the lungs and open the airways. Bronchodilators are often prescribed alongside inhaled steroids for ongoing symptom management.

Using a nebulizer is as simple as wearing the mask or mouthpiece and breathing normally while the medication is delivered to the airway. The convenience of a nebulizer allows caregivers to administer medications to patients who are unable to operate the device on their own. Even infants and people who are immobilized can be treated with a nebulizer.
