What Is an Asthma Nebulizer?
An asthma nebulizer is a medical device which is designed for use in the administration of asthma medications. The nebulizer turns the medications into a fine mist which can be easily inhaled, ensuring that the medications will penetrate the airways and lungs and that the patient will get the full benefit of the medication. Hospitals and clinics usually keep asthma nebulizers on hand to treat asthmatic patients, and some people with asthma also use these devices at home as part of their asthma treatment plan, as directed by a physician.
