FUNCTION OF NEBULIZERS

A nebulizer is a device that uses a small compressor to convert liquid medication into tiny droplets
of mist that can be inhaled directly into the lungs.
• • Since the medication goes straight to the lungs, onset of the medication’s action often takes
place rapidly.
• This promotes quick symptom relief in the case of illnesses such as asthma, where fast relief is
desirable.
• Also, it minimizes the risk of side effects of the medication, preventing the medication from
being metabolized into a less effective form by the body.
