Living = breathing / Breathing = living
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 ad-
ministered at the precise point where they will have greatest effect (via
the oro-nasalpharyngeal 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.
