Page 5: Understanding Nebuliser Medicine
Understanding Nebuliser Medicine How does a nebuliser machine work? A nebuliser machine turns liquid medication into a fine mist of spray. This will allow you to breathe your medicine straight into your lungs where it will work faster than inhalers. The medication used in nebuliser therapy uses a lower dose of your medicine than if you were to take it in a tablet, and a higher dose than your ordinary inhalers. - Page 6 What kind of medicine is used? The following types of medicines are used: Relievers or bronchodilators These help the airways to open up allowing more oxygen to enter the lungs. Preventers or anti-inflamatory drugs These stop your lungs from becoming swollen and inflamed and allow oxygen to enter the bloodstream.
