Often, diseases of the respiratory system or the lung are lengthy,
painful and life restricting. Timely, effective therapies such as
inhalation therapy with aerosols can be of great help and
assistance.
A gas + particle mixture is defined as an aerosol; mist is an
example of a natural aerosol. Aerosol therapy delivers medicines
in an "air transported" form (e.g. nebulized) which are inhaled.
The great advantage of this therapy (unlike taking tablets for
example) is that the medicines are administered at the precise
point where they will have greatest effect (via the oro-nasal-
pharyngeal cavity into the lung) without passing through other
organs:
1. The effect is noticeably rapid.
2. There is no (significant) effect or side effect on other organs.
3. Small quantities of medicines are used.
