It has been a common consensus that one of the most beneficial aspects of using a nebulizer to take respiratory medication is because it reduces the side effects associated with asthma medication. A nebulizer is a health and medical device that is used by those suffering from respiratory conditions in order to take their medicine in vapor form. The reason why you would want to take it in vapor form is because it can be breathed in rather than ingested which has several benefits. The first advantage is that the medicine goes to work much faster and thus can help to reduce asthma symptoms at a faster rate. The other benefit is that there is less side effects that have been reported when the prescription is taken via this device. Although it has been common to use the device for asthma there is also many other conditions including COPD and cystic fibrosis whereby individuals have used this product. The evolution of the nebulizer devices has been very interesting and they are still in works of developing newer products. The first of these varieties were created back in the late 1800’s where because of the need to take medication by breathing it in prompted inventors to create such a device. Today’s nebulizer devices are completely portable and digital whereby once you place the prescription inside the device then within a few seconds it is ready to be breathed in. Being battery powered also means that it can be recharged over and over again whenever you need it. The most common medication that is used with the product is albuterol which helps greatly to reduce the symptoms associated with this health condition. So the first step would be to get your prescription filled with your physician and then at that point you are ready to use the product for your health.
