5. Inhaling correctly
Breathing technique
• It is important to use the correct breathing technique to en-
sure that the particles are distributed as widely as possible
across the airways. To ensure that the particles reach your
airways and lungs, you must breathe in slowly and deep-
ly, then hold your breath briefly (5 to 10 seconds) and then
breathe out quickly.
• Nebulisers should only be used for the treatment of respira-
tory diseases after consultation with your doctor. He or she
will advise you about the selection, dosage and use of med-
ications suitable for inhalation therapy.
• Certain medications are only available with a prescription.
Note
You should hold the device as vertically as possible. Howev-
er, a slight angle will not affect the application, as the con-
tainer is leak proof. For full functionality of the device, ensure
when using it that the medication is in contact with the mesh.
Important
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops to be
used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuitable for inha-
lation using a nebuliser. These additives are often viscous and
can impair the correct functioning of the device and therefore the
effectiveness of the application in the long term.
