Aerosol / Nebuliser Therapy
Aerosol therapy facilitates the administration of nebulised medicines directly into the lungs. It may be used to treat chronic asthma, acute asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or other conditions.
Why do people choose this treatment?
There are two main reasons that people choose to use this treatment:
It is specific. Aerosol Therapy causes the drug to reach the airways immediately, limiting the possibility that it could reach organs other than those targeted.
A smaller dose of medicine is required, as the nebulisation process limits the dispersal of the drug during delivery.
To ensure that the therapy is successful and to optimize the benefit to the patients, it is important to utilise the highest quality nebulisation/delivery devices.
